Figure 6

Effect of LPE treatment on serum liver enzymes after 16 weeks of oral exposure of rats to CCl₄/olive oil. ALT (a), AST (b), GGT (c), and ALP (d). The control group received olive oil (5 mL/kg ip) in the morning twice a week for 16 weeks. The model group received CCl₄/olive oil (2 mL/kg ip) in the morning twice a week for 16 weeks. LPE and capecitabine groups received CCl₄/olive oil (2 mL/kg ip) in the morning and, respectively, LPE (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg po) and capecitabine (100 mg/kg po) in the afternoon twice a week for 16 weeks. Each value is the , . (control vs. model); ^#, model vs. LPE. ALT: serum alanine transaminase; ALP: serum alkaline phosphatase; AST: serum aspartate transaminase; GGT: serum glutamyltransferase; LPE: Citrus limon fruit peel extract.
