Data presented as means ± SEM for (6) rats in each group and % of change. The significant change was at p ≤ 0.05. Different superscript letters (a, b and c) indicate significant differences in the same column (N = 6). Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). High-density lipoproteins (HDL-C). Low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C). Serum total bilirubin (TB). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
