Table 1 Relative liver weight and serum ALT and Cu/Zn SOD activities in the livers of CCl₄-intoxicated mice treated with Micrometria croatica ethanolic extract (MC) and silymarin (S)

From: Hepatoprotective effects of Micromeria croatica ethanolic extract against CCl₄–induced liver injury in mice

	Relative liver weight	ALT (U/L)	Cu/Zn SOD (U/mg protein)
Control	4.59 ± 0.62^a	26.5 ± 1.8^a	9.36 ± 0.63^a
MC 400 mg/kg	4.75 ± 0.44^a	29.4 ± 2.1^a	9.12 ± 0.94^a
CCl₄	7.76 ± 0.87^b	1447 ± 195^b	5.22 ± 0.86^b
CCl₄ + MC 50 mg/kg	7.72 ± 0.46^b	1406 ± 165^b	5.71 ± 0.74^b
CCl₄ + MC 200 mg/kg	6.88 ± 0.32^b	789 ± 107^b	6.94 ± 0.37^b
CCl₄ + MC 400 mg/kg	5.75 ± 0.83^a	293 ± 79^c	8.17 ± 0.69^a
CCl₄ + S 400 mg/kg	5.74 ± 0.71^a	256 ± 96^c	8.29 ± 0.83^a

Relative liver weight is expressed as g of liver weight/100 g of body weight
ALT alanine aminotransferase; Cu/Zn SOD superoxide dismutase
Each value represents the mean ± SD for 5 mice. Means sharing the same letter within row are not significantly different from each other (P < 0.05)
