Figure 2

Heart weight and cardiac biochemical parameters in prepubertal rabbits. Heart weight and heart/body weight ratio (a), total cholesterol content (b), triglyceride content (c), protein content (d), calcium content (e), MDA and UA contents (f), and ascorbic acid and AOA contents (g). MDA: malonyldialdehyd; UA: uric acid; AOA: antioxidant activity; C: control group; HFD: high-fat diet group; M: male; F: female. FHFD versus FC, MHFD versus MC, FHFD versus MHFD; mean ± SEM (, , , and ).
