Effect of chronic oral administration of EOCG on biochemical liver parameters in rats. The EOCG was given daily by oral route to groups of Wistar rats at the following doses: 0 (Control), 50 and 500 mg/kg for 28 days. Biochemical parameters were measured at day 15 and after 28 days of treatment. (a) ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase); ALAT (alanine aminotransferase); PAL (alkaline phosphatase) at day 15 of treatment for female rats; (b) ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase); ALAT (alanine aminotransferase); PAL (alkaline phosphatase) at the end of treatment for female rats; (c) ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase); ALAT (alanine aminotransferase); PAL (alkaline phosphatase) at 15 days of treatment for male rats; (d) ASAT (aspartate aminotransferase); ALAT (alanine aminotransferase); PAL (alkaline phosphatase) at the end of treatment for male rats. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M for .
