Table 3: Activity of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in plasma of normal andexperimental groups of rats. Values are given as mean ± SD for groups of eight animals each. *Significantly different from normal group atp<0.01. a: significant from normal control; b: significant from ferrous sulfate (30mg/kg b.w.) supplement group; c: significant from cranberryextract (75 mg/kg b.w.); d: significant from cranberry extract (150 mg/kg b.w.).
