Argan Oil Exerts an Antiatherogenic Effect by Improving Lipids and Susceptibility of LDL to Oxidation in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Table 4

Kinetic of conjugated dienes formation from oxidized LDL of both study groups after 3 weeks of argan oil intervention.

Groups		Markers of susceptibility of LDL to lipid peroxidation
		LP (min)	MR (mol diene/mol LDL/min)	MDP (mol diene/mol LDL)
Control	After stabilization (2 weeks)	53.45	3.83	520.17
	After intervention (3 weeks)	52.70	3.86	521.80
	𝑃	0.189	0.207	0.180
Argan oil	After stabilization (2 weeks)	52.00	3.88	522.70
	After intervention (3 weeks)	63.10	1.04	338.60
	𝑃	0.027	0.031	0.019

Abbreviations: LP: lag phase; MDP: maximum dienes production; MR: maximal rate of dienes production. Values are means ± SD.
