Activities of ALT, AST, and GGT in serum after 90 days of ethanol feeding
| Groups | ALT in serum (μmol of pyruvate liberated/min/mg protein) | AST in serum (μmol of oxalo acetate liberated/min/mg protein) | GGT in serum (Units*/ml) |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 64.99 ± 4.21a | 149.11 ± 4.17a | 6.71 ± 0.98a |
| E | 201.45 ± 8.34b | 239.92 ± 11.95b | 19.24 ± 1.68b |
*The molar absorption coefficient of the p-nitroaniline product at 450 nm is 9900 mol−1 cm−1.
Values are expressed as mean ± SD of six guinea pigs in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript letter differ significantly at P < 0.05.
