Values expressed as mean ± SEM. a: Significance at p < 0.0001 Vs. control group, b: Significance at p < 0.0001 Vs. Doxorubicin (DOX) group, c: Significance at p < 0.0001 of DOX + AHE 400 mg/kg group Vs. DOX + AHE 200 mg/kg group. d: Significance at p < 0.0001 of AHE co-treatment groups Vs DOX + Sily group. **: Significant difference at p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 respectively. Non-significant difference (p > 0.05) was recorded between control and AHE alone treated group in all parameters. (One way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests). Sily-Silymarin.
