Data are expressed as mean ± S. D. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test, when appropriate (n=5). Blood sugar levels, blood urea nitrogen (URE), blood creatinine (CRE), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) and alanine aminotranferase (ALAT). Differences between the groups were considered to be significant when p < 0.05. (*) Different from the control.
