SIRT1 Modulators in Experimentally Induced Liver Injury

Table 1

Effects of quercetin and SRT1720 pretreatments in lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatitis in D-galactosamine-sensitized (D-GalN/LPS) rats on the levels of AST, ALT, and catalase in plasma and conjugated dienes in liver homogenate, after 24 hours.
