Estimation of tissue homogenate biomarkers in APAP induces hepatotoxicity in rats. CO treatment significantly reveres the markers in APAP + CO group as compared to the APAP group. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M of n = 6 animals. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test for multiple comparisons. (ns = non-significant).

*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 APAP vs. control.

#p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 APAP + CO vs. APAP.
