AST, ALT, and GGT before and after treatment of the two groups.

Index	Experiment group (n = 35)			Control group (n = 31)
	Before treatment	After treatment		Before treatment	After treatment
AST	36.6 ± 21.8	32.02 ± 20.1	0.36	25.3 ± 10.7	26.4 ± 8.7	0.66
ALT	37.9 ± 30.2	39.1 ± 45.7	0.91	26.9 ± 17.3	30.9 ± 14.8	0.33
GGT	41.2 ± 36.6	34.6 ± 26.1	0.39	25.1 ± 15.7	40.2 ± 20.9	0.002

Note. There were differences in liver enzyme indexes (AST, ALT, and GGT) between two groups of patients before and after treatment. However, only the GGT index in the control group showed a significant difference (, Student t-test).
