Serum AST, ALT, and ALP activities in the mice fed with the liquid Lieber–DeCarli ethanol diet.

Groups	AST (U/L)	ALT (U/L)	ALP (IU/L)
NOR	44.9 ± 4.9 *	17.3 ± 2.5 **	67.0 ± 3.1 **
EtOH	51.0 ± 9.8	22.1 ± 6.2	76.0 ± 5.5
SL	43.0 ± 4.7 **	18.5 ± 2.4 *	73.3 ± 5.9
MS-L	41.6 ± 3.7 **	16.8 ± 2.7 **	70.6 ± 4.1
MS-H	39.5 ± 3.4 ***	16.3 ± 1.9 **	68.6 ± 6.1 *
AK-L	42.1 ± 4.3 **	17.0 ± 2.8 **	68.1 ± 4.3 **
AK-H	38.9 ± 3.2 ***	16.8 ± 0.5 **	69.5 ± 6.7 *

Two groups of the mice were fed a normal diet (NOR group) or a liquid Lieber—DeCarli ethanol diet (EtOH group) without the administration of test materials. The other ethanol-induced liver injury mice were administered silymarin (200 mg/kg bw/day), a low dose of monascin (0.615 mg/kg bw/day; MS-L group), a high dose of monascin (3.075 mg/kg bw/day; MS-H group), ankaflavin (0.3075 mg/kg bw/day; AK-L group), or a high dose of ankaflavin (1.5375 mg/kg bw day; AK-H group). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 8). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 vs. EtOH group.
