AST (UI)	31.03 ± 2.08	64.21 ± 6.73^b	11.11 ± 0.87^bβ	45.68 ± 5.16^aβ	12.36 ± 1.07^aβ
ALT (UI)	18.51 ± 1.78	29.31 ± 2.30^b	11.75 ± 1.15^bβ	10.72 ± 0.21^bβ	17.94 ± 2.86^β
Creatinin (mg/mL)	0.80 ± 0.06	0.88 ± 0.68	0.57 ± 0.06	0.63 ± 0.18	0.87 ± 0.45
Bilirubine (mg/L)	4.02 ± 1.38	5.44 ± 1.707	5.63 ± 0.92	5.71 ± 1.058	8.04 ± 1.79^α
