The main aim of this study was to determine the effects of immobilization stress and Aloe vera extract on serum level of Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) and Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) in male rats.   Methods: In this laboratory experimental study, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, Aloe vera extract or normal saline receiving, under acute or chronic immobilization animals of 5 in each group. After 6 weeks blood samples were collected using cardiac puncture method. Following serum collection, SGOT or SGPT level was measured by spectrophotometry method. Data were statistically analyzed and compared between groups using ANOVA.   Results: Serum SGOT level was significantly increased in rats enduring acute or chronic immobilization animals compared with control rats (p }, URL = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-2289-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-2289-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, doi = {}, year = {2012} }
