ALT (U·L−1)	22.63 ± 9.29	116.63 ± 49.57#	60.75 ± 32.20*
AST (U·L−1)	123.13 ± 55.16	776.50 ± 327.28#	371.38 ± 221.08*
ALP (U·L−1)	170.00 ± 81.33	357.75 ± 148.64#	261.75 ± 106.88*
GGT (U·L−1)	0.25 ± 0.73	33.75 ± 19.10#	19.25 ± 18.35
Serum TBA (μmol·L−1)	10.56 ± 4.59	119.34 ± 47.10#	109.74 ± 84.03
Serum TBiL (μmol·L−1)	0.44 ± 0.56	149.19 ± 58.26#	63.21 ± 63.17*

Values are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 8 animals per group).

^# P < .05, significantly different from the sham group.

^* P < .05, significantly different from the BDL‐NS group; ANOVA followed by Tukey's test.
