| Table 3. Effect of different doses of HEE of C. pulcherrima leaves on AST and ALT activities in the liver, testis, and epididymis in albino rat after 2 hrs incubation. Computed values were expressed as mean±SEM, n=16. “Multiple-comparison Student’s two-tail ‘t’-test” after ANOVA was used for data analysis, Values in each column with same superscript (a) did not differ from each other significantly; p>0.05. | ||||||
