CK activity (u/L, mean ±SEM) on 1 to 4 days after the exposure to different doses of Nerium oleander extract in four experimental groups (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, and Group 4 which received 10, 12_5, 15, and 20 mg/kg b_w_ of the prepared extract of the plant respectively) and the control (group 5) which received only normal saline
