Enzyme activities are expressed as AST and ALT – l moles of pyruvate liberated/h/mg of protein, ALP – l moles of phenol liberated/min/mg of protein.
Results are expressed as mean ± SEM []. One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc test LSD was done. Values are statistically significant at . The results were  compared to control rats and compared to diabetic rats.
