The table above showed that the mean pre-test level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in
the silymarin-treated hepatotoxic albino rats was 75.0356 U/L while the mean post-test levels of
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the silymarin-treated hepatotoxic albino rats was only
30.3233 U/L.
2. What are the Pre-test and Post-test mean levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
in the camachile leaf extract treated hepatotoxic albino rats using the following
doses:
a. 250 mg/kg
b. 500 mg/kg
c. 750 mg/kg
Table 2. Pre-test mean levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the 250mg/kg,
500mg/kg, and 750mg/kg Camachile-treated hepatotoxic albino rats
The table above showed that the mean pre-test level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in
the Camachile-treated hepatotoxic albino rats were the following: for 250mg/kg was 88.0311
U/L; 500mg/kg was 102.1422; and for 750mg/kg was 94.0578.
The table above showed that the mean post-test level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
in the Camachile-treated hepatotoxic albino rats were the following: for 250mg/kg was 31.6122
U/L; 500mg/kg was 34.9289 U/L; and for 750mg/kg was 30.0189 U/L.
The post-test levels were significantly lower compared to the pre-test levels.
Results above showed that there is no significant difference (sig=0.960) between the
mean level of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) in silymarin-treated hepatotoxic albino rats and
the camachile leaf extract-treated heatotoxic albino rats using the doses of 250mg/kg, 500 mg/kg,
and 750 mg/kg.
This no significant difference means that control groups and treatment groups have the
same effect when it comes to reducing the level alanine aminotransferase ( ALT). In other words,
3
the silymarin and camachile extracts of different doses have the same effects in the level of
alanine aminotransferase ( ALT).
