---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | CCl4 | CCl4 + Sil (100mg/Kg) | CCl4 + EaF10 (25mg/Kg) | CCl4 + EaF10 (100mg/Kg) | |
ALT (IU/L) | 34.48 ± 5.26 | 87.68 ± 7.56a | 40.77 ± 8.42b | 61.36 ± 4.73b | 45.24 ± 8.07b |
AST (IU/L) | 19.23 ± 6.07 | 69.25 ± 7.56a | 28.61 ± 7.33b | 42.07 ± 5.89b | 27.51 ± 4.73b |
Mice in different groups were treated as indicated in the material and methods section. Hepatic dysfunction related to CCl4-hepatotoxicity was determined by quantifying the serum activities (ALT) and (AST). Values are expressed as means ± SD, n = 6; a values significantly different compared to normal control group (P˂0.05); b values significantly different compared to CCl4-intoxicated group (P˂0.05) using Bonferroni's test. Control: normal control group; CCl4: CCl4-intoxicated group alone; CCl4+Sil (100mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + silymarin (100mg/Kg)-treated group; CCl4 + EaF10 (25mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + EaF10 (25mg/Kg)-treated group; CCl4 + EaF10 (100mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + EaF10 (100mg/Kg)-treated group. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase.
