Effects of Croton urucurana on biochemical profile. Plasma levels of (a) cholesterol (mg/dl), (b) triglycerides (mg/dl), (c) urea (mg/dl), and (d) creatinine (mg/dl) in nondyslipidemic and nonsmoking rats (basal group) and dyslipidemic and smoking rats that were treated with vehicle (negative control (C−)), Croton urucurana extract (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg), or simvastatin + enalapril (SIM + ENAL). The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. versus basal group; versus C− group (one-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls post hoc test).
