- Values are mean ± SD (n = 9-10). *Significantly different from control (p < 0.05). #Significantly different from LPS (p < 0.05). ##Marginally different from LPS (p < 0.1). ALT (alanine aminotransferase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), LPS (lipopolysaccharide), RLW (relative liver weight).
