Effects of “Bacuri” Seed Butter (Platonia insignis Mart.) on Metabolic Parameters in Hamsters with Diet-Induced Hypercholesterolemia

Table 5

Serum levels of AST, ALT, and ALP (U/L) in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) after 28 days of treatment with bacuri seed butter (25 or 50 mg/kg/day).

Groups	Parameters (mean ± SEM)
	AST (U/L)	ALT (U/L)	ALP (U/L)
NG	61.42 ± 5.69	73.66 ± 6.95	267.66 ± 41.97
DG	69.85 ± 14.36	65.50 ± 7.93	363.6 ± 78.83
BB-25	71.87 ± 5.11	68.16 ± 4.94	353.66 ± 53.53
BB-50	80.28 ± 6.28	83.28 ± 4.8	320.62 ± 13.25

NG: normal group; DG: dyslipidemia group; BB-25: bacuri seed butter 25 mg/kg/day; BB-50: bacuri seed butter 50 mg/kg/day; AST: aspartate transaminase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase. No significant differences were observed according to Tukey’s post hoc test.
