Serum levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREA), aspartate transaminase (AST) alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) total bilirubin (Bil), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TCHO) was indicated as the mean value (± SD) of animals in each group. * p < 0.05 vs. the VC group. Sham, non-BPH-induced and received 0.5% CMC-Na; VC, BPH-induced and received 0.5% CMC-Na; PC, BPH-induced and saw palmetto-treated group.
