Effect of HPE-XA-08 on blood biochemicals related to liver damage (ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT) for observation of protective activity.


Group	ALT (IU/L)	AST (IU/L)	ALP (IU/L)	GGT (IU/L)

Normal saline + H₂O (1P)	80.00 ± 4.175	237.3 ± 12.84	173.6 ± 7.807	2.286 ± 0.4206
Normal saline + HPE-XA-08 (2P)^#	76.00 ± 4.416	223.3 ± 11.16	170.3 ± 23.68	3.750 ± 0.4787
TAA + H₂O (3P)	88.50 ± 12.75	215.0 ± 13.64	375.0 ± 10.41	37.50 ± 1.857
TAA + HPE-XA-08 (4P)⁺	69.40 ± 7.756	222.4 ± 5.715	277.0 ± 4.722	30.80 ± 3.980

Levels of enzymes between 1P and 3P were compared to show the effects of TAA on the level of liver enzymes; indicates .
^#Levels of enzymes between 1P and 2P were compared to show the effects of HPE-XA-08 on the level of liver enzymes but did not show statistically significant value ().
⁺Levels of enzymes between 3P and 4P were compared to show the effects of HPE-XA-08 on preventing TAA-induced liver cirrhosis but did not show statistically significant value ().
