Lipid-Lowering and Antioxidative Activities of Aqueous Extracts of Ocimum sanctum L. Leaves in Rats Fed with a High-Cholesterol Diet

Table 4

Changes of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine kinase MB subunit (CK-MB) in normal rats, HC rats, and HC rats treated with aqueous extracts of Ocimum sanctum L. leaves (OS).

	Group
	Normal	HC	HC + OS
ALT (U/L)	25±1^a	118±17^b	61±8^c
AST (U/L)	67±3^a	166±14^b	103±5^c
AP (U/L)	116±8^a	207±6^b	182±9^c
LDH (U/L)	530±78^a	825±86^b	380±62^a
CK-MB (U/L)	499±56^a	685±35^b	421±39^a

Values are shown as means ± SEM of seven rats per group.
Values with different superscripts in the same row are significantly different at 𝑃<0.05. HC: high cholesterol.
