Cinnamaldehyde Mitigates Atherosclerosis Induced by High-Fat Diet via Modulation of Hyperlipidemia, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation

Figure 3

Impact of cinnamaldehyde on serum heart-function enzymes CK, CK-MB, AST, and LDH activities in high-fat-diet-feeding rats. The changes in the values of (a) CK, (b) CK-MB, (c) LDH, and (d) AST among ND (normal diet), HFD (high-fat diet), HFD+Ci (high-fat diet+cinnamaldehyde) groups. Mean value is significant at , , and as compared to the normal diet group and at ^#, ^##, and ^### as compared to the high-fat diet group. N.S.: not significant; CK: creatine kinase; CK-MB: creatine kinase-MB; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase.
