Antioxidant Potential of Momordica Charantia in Ammonium Chloride-Induced Hyperammonemic Rats

Table 1

Effect of MCE on changes in the blood ammonia and plasma urea, serum AST, ALT and ALP of normal and experimental rats.

Groups	Blood ammonia (𝜇mol L^−1)	Urea (mg dl^−1)	AST (IU l^−1)	ALT (IU l^−1)	ALP (IU l^−1)
Normal	89.54 ± 4.47^a	10.28 ± 2.99^a	72.10 ± 6.26^a	24.27 ± 2.08^a	74.42 ± 6.14^a
Normal + MCE (300 mg kg^−1)	85.32 ± 8.94^a	11.40 ± 0.77^a	70.24 ± 6.28^a	22.01 ± 1.78^a	73.96 ± 4.50^a
AC (100 mg kg^−1)	327.15 ± 26.83^b	22.93 ± 1.78^b	118.41 ± 10.73^b	60.34 ± 5.36^b	141.72 ± 12.52^b
MCE (300 mg kg^−1) + AC	140.26 ± 17.88^c	13.15 ± 0.89^c	85.82 ± 8.74^c	32.74 ± 2.68^c	85.71 ± 7.15^c

Each value is mean ± SD for 8 rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript (a, b and c) differ significantly at P < .05 (DMRT).
