Chronic administration of 10% TNJ does not elevate serum levels of markers for hepatic renal toxicity in 14-month-old female MMTV-neu mice. (a) Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a hepatic serum marker, in control, , and 10% TNJ-treated, , mice. (b) Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), a marker of liver damage, in control, , and 10% TNJ, , groups. (c) Serum blood nitrogen urea (BUN), a renal function marker, in control, , and 10% TNJ, , groups. Only animals necropsied within 48 hours of the assay were used to analyze BUN levels. No significance was detected for any of the markers, ; P values determined by Student’s -test. Mean ± SEM are shown; TNJ: Tahitian Noni Juice.
