Serum parameters and lipid profile.

IL-6 levels, AST/ALT activities, and lipid profile were measured in serum samples. Sham and OVX groups were treated once a day for 30 days with refined olive oil containing or not curcumin. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (sham , OVX , OVX50 , OVX100 ). Statistically different from Sham group: < 0.05, < 0.01 < 0.001; < 0.05: different from OVX group (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; IL-6: interleukin-6; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; OVX: ovariectomized; VLDL: very low-density lipoprotein. |
