All results were expressed as mean ± standard derivation (n = 5). Data analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Turkey’s post hoc test. statistically significant compared with the normal control group. statistically significant compared with the diabetic control. AEFV: aqueous extract of the leaves of Ficus vallis-choudae; CI: cardioprotective index; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-c: very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; AI: atherogenic index; CRI: coronary artery risk index.
