Palm Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction Improves Vascular Proatherosclerotic Changes in Hyperhomocysteinemic Rats

Table 1

The aortic intima and media ratio in rats fed 1% methionine diet (M) (week 0–10), and supplemented with folate (8 mg/kg diet) or palm tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) (30, 60 or 150 mg/kg diet) for 5 weeks (week 6–10).

Groups	Intima-media thickness (𝜇m)	Intima : media ratio
Control	95.78 ± 7.19	0.0163 ± 0.0017
Methionine (M)	89.02 ± 7.98	0.0160 ± 0.0011
M + Folate	92.11 ± 8.33	0.0157 ± 0.0016
M + TRF30	98.05 ± 8.26	0.0170 ± 0.0020
M + TRF60	84.41 ± 7.95	0.0154 ± 0.0023
M + TRF150	82.74 ± 9.88	0.0146 ± 0.0018
