Table 2 Effect of TSA on sera biochemical assays of total protein, albumin, AST, ALT, γ-GT and AKP. Values represent means ± SD (n = 6 each group). *p < 0.05 versus control group, #p < 0.05 versus CCl4 group, &p < 0.05 versus CCl4 plus TSA-concurrent group. AST = aspartate amino transferase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase, γ-GT = γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase, AKP = alkaline phosphatase.
