Melatonin prevents oxidative stress, inflammatory activity, and DNA damage in cirrhotic rats

Figure 3 The effect of melatonin on the activity of liver enzymes aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase (alkaline phosphatase) in the plasma of animals that underwent bile duct ligation surgery. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. Significant increase in relation to the control (CO) and the CO + melatonin (MLT) groups (^aP < 0.001). Significant decrease in the bile duct ligation (BDL) group in relation to the BDL + MLT group (^bP < 0.001). A: AST; B: ALT; C: ALP.
