Impact of DIA on hepatic functions in rats treated with APAP
| Parameters | Control | APAP | DIA 25 + APAP | DIA 50 + APAP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALT (U/L) | 25.92 ± 0.55 | 65.10 ± 1.35a | 38.98 ± 0.80a,b | 30.78 ± 1.06a,b,c |
| AST (U/L) | 40.25 ± 0.61 | 85.14 ± 1.22a | 50.64 ± 0.57a,b | 24.67 ± 0.71a,b,c |
| TBB (U/L) | 17.45 ± 0.59 | 56.93 ± 0.85a | 30.06 ± 0.34a,b | 24.67 ± 0.71a,b,c |
| LDH (U/L) | 303.00 ± 1.38 | 704.00 ± 1.46a | 440.00 ± 2.30a,b | 410.00 ± 1.36a,b,c |
Data are expressed in the form of means ± S.E.M. (n = 6 per group), and one-way ANOVA was utilized for data analysis, followed by Tukey post hoc test. (a), (b), (c): P < 0.05 compared the controls, APAP, DIA 25 + APAP groups respectively
