Effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of Garviola (Annona muricata) leaves in drinking water on the activity of liver enzymes in blood serum during 66–81 weeks (mean ± standard error): AST, ALT, and ALP (IU/L).
N.S. indicates that there are no significant differences between the coefficients. * indicates significant changes between treatments at the significance level (P≤0.05). The first treatment (control) was without any additives. The second, third, and fourth treatments included a 1% aqueous extract of Garviola leaves at concentrations of 15, 30, and 45 ml/liter of drinking water, respectively. The fifth, sixth, and seventh treatments included an alcoholic extract of Garviola leaves at concentrations of 15, 30, and 45 ml/liter of water. Drink 1% concentration consecutively.
