Figure 1

The effects of AME.Or on hepatic parameters. Cdcl₂ was administered via the intraperitoneal route on the 1^st day of study followed by AME.Or doses at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg. (a) AST/SGOT. (b) ALT/SGPT. (c) ALP. (d) Total Bilirubin was measured through the commercial kits method. Mean ± SEM of n = 6. Each group is analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test. When the intoxicated group is compared to treatment groups, results are considered nonsignificant (ns) if , significant () if , more significant () if , very significant () if , and highly significant () if . When the control group is compared with the intoxicated group, the significance of the results is denoted with (^#). (ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, Aspartate transaminase; ALP, Alkaline phosphatase).
