Values are expressed as mean ± SD.

^aP < 0.05 vs control group,

^cP < 0.05 vs EtOH group, and

^eP < 0.05 vs silymarin group. Sily: Silymarin; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; EtOH: Ethanol; HRW: Hydrogen-rich water; Sily: Silymarin; TC: Total cholesterol; TG: Triacylglycerol.
