Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of five rats at p < 0.05 Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) BMF group (injection of black myrtle fruit extract), BML group (injection of black myrtle leaves extract), WMF group (injection of white myrtle fruit extract) and WML group (injection of white myrtle leaves extract)
