| T1∗ | T2∗ | T3∗ | T4∗ | T5∗ | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALT∗(U/L) | 41.57 ± 7.5 | 47.57 ± 25.51 | 45.57 ± 6.19 | 45.29 ± 9.3 | 50.57 ± 20.59 | 0.496 |

| % Liver Weight | 2.42 ± 0.34 | 2.49 ± 0.34 | 2.54 ± 0.34 | 2.52 ± 0.34 | 2.69 ± 0.34 | 0.63 |
Results are expressed as means and standard deviations (mean ± standard deviations).
∗
ALT: Alanine Aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate Aminotransferase; ∗T1: Control treatment/commercial feed; T2: cafeteria diet (CAF); T3: CAF + kombucha; T4: CAF + green banana flour (GBF); T5: CAF + kombucha + GBF. Values in the column followed by different letters differ significantly by the Tukey test (p < 0.05).
