Table 4.

Correlation between ALT, AST, hepatic MDA, hepatic CASP-3, eNOS and AT1R expression with the hepatic apelin level in the studied groups.

		Apelin (ng/mg)
ALT (U/L)	R	−0.590
ALT (U/L)	p value	<0.001
AST (U/L)	R	−0.614
AST (U/L)	p value	<0.001
MDA (nmol/mg)	R	−0.700
MDA (nmol/mg)	p value	<0.001
CASP-3 Gene expression	R	−0.683
CASP-3 Gene expression	p value	<0.001
eNOS Gene expression	R	0.655
eNOS Gene expression	p value	<0.001
AT1R Gene expression	R	−0.628
AT1R Gene expression	p value	<0.001

ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; AT1R: angiotensin type 1 receptor; CASP-3: caspase-3; eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; MDA: malondialdehyde.
