The liver has a central & critical bio-chemical role in metabolism, digestion, detoxification & elimination of substances from the body. All blood from the intestinal tract initially passes through the liver, where products derived from digestion of food are processed, transformed & stored.

Control group which consist of 25 subjects who had no complain and history of liver disease.
