Treatment was performed for 14 days. Values are mean ± SD () and have been analyzed using post hoc comparison test one way ANOVA. Data revealed nonsignificant () difference in liver function test after 14 days in all treated groups when compared to that of untreated control group. TP: total protein; TB: total bilirubin; CB: conjugated bilirubin; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; GGT: γ-glutamyl transferase.
