The table values are presented as mean ± standard deviation of 4 repetitions. In the same line and by sex, the values bearing the different letters are significantly different according to Waller Duncan’s multiple comparison test (). Indicators: TG: triglyceride; TC: total cholesterol; HDL: high-density lipoproteins; LDL: Low-density lipoproteins.
