TC: total cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: High-density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides.
Group 1: normal control; Group 2: atherogenic control; Group 3: atherogenic + AV; Group 4: atherogenic + AND LD; Group 5: atherogenic + AND HD.
Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc test for average comparison on SPSS 18.0. Mean values SEM () were used. Significance difference was defined as compared to atherogenic group (G2); compared to normal control (G1).
