Values presented are the means ± SD. a–e In the same column, values with different letters in the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05) and those with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (p > 0.05) according to Duncan's multi-range test. Normal = normal mice; model = mice treated with CCl4 (0.8%); silymarin: 50 mg kg−1 silymarin treatment; HFY06 = mice treated with CCl4 (15th day) and doses (L, H) of Lactobacillus fermentum HFY06 (108, 109 CFU per kg per day); LB = mice treated with CCl4 (15th day) and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (109 CFU per kg per day).
