Control	0	10	38.26 ± 9.52	19.04 ± 4.20
CCl4 (25 µL/kg)	0	9	57.87 ± 10.85	15.21 ± 6.09
SAL	400	9	72.91 ± 14.93	22.89 ± 7.95
UDCA	50	10	69.07 ± 10.09	19.48 ± 4.64

⁢; Misdosed and hence data for one mouse was excluded; Not enough blood to match liver homogenate data and hence one mouse was excluded. UDCA = ursodeoxycholic acid. Mice received three doses of the composition before model induction and a single dose after model induction.
