Each value is the mean obtained for six rats ± SD; *symbol in each row indicating the significant difference between control and APAP group; symbol in each row indicating the significant difference between control and control + honey group; #symbol in each row indicating the significant difference between APAP and honey + APAP at . Percentage change is calculated as 100 × [(value of treatment − value of control)/value of control].
