The estimates marked with asterisk (*) differed significantly at 5% level of significance (p < 0.05) between the two groups, i.e., LSD-affected ad LSD unaffected/healthy
A: albumin; G: globulin; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; SGOT: serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase; SGPT: serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase
