Data are represented as mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 7). versus the normal group and and versus the thioacetamide control group. LW: liver weight; BW: body weight; normal: received distilled water only; control: thioacetamide-induced acute liver injury treated with distilled water; (3) silymarin: thioacetamide-induced acute liver injury treated with silymarin (100 mg/kg); PR100: thioacetamide-induced acute liver injury treated with Paeoniae Radix Alba (100 mg/kg); and PR200: thioacetamide-induced acute liver injury treated with Paeoniae Radix Alba (200 mg/kg).
