Protective effects of DHM against LPS-induced hepatotoxicity. Changes in AST activity (A), ALT activity (B), and DBILI content (C) in serum from chickens administered 0.025%, 0.05% or 0.1% DHM for 14 days followed by LPS exposure (60 mg/kg). Values are expressed as the mean ± SD for each group (n = 6). **P < 0.01 vs. the control group. #P < 0.05 and ##P < 0.01 vs. the LPS-treated group. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; DBILI: direct bilirubin.
