Table 3 Serum ALT and AST level values in 4 groups. Deletion of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) aggravated liver damage. Serum ALT and AST level values are represented the mean±SD.

Groups	n	ALT (U/L)	AST (U/L)
WT control group	6	13±1.41	66.33±7.41
WT model group	6	44.67±1.89^#	118.67±11.73^#
CB2−/− control group	6	13.33±0.47	65.00±7.79
CB2−/− model group	6	159.67±20.68^*	372.00±9.80^*
ALT – alanine aminotransferase; AST – aspartate aminotransferase. ^# ^* ^&
