Bixin and Norbixin Have Opposite Effects on Glycemia, Lipidemia, and Oxidative Stress in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 3

Lipid profile of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: total cholesterol (a), HDL cholesterol (b), LDL cholesterol (c), and triglycerides (d). Data are expressed as means ± SEM (𝑛=6 per group). ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test: ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus nondiabetic control; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus diabetic vehicle. BIX 10: 10 mg/kg bixin; BIX 100: 100 mg/kg bixin; NBIX 10: 10 mg/kg norbixin; NBIX 100: 100 mg/kg norbixin.
