Effect of GRP at two concentrations on triglycerides, cholesterol, and total protein levels in whole brain tissue homogenates of MSG-exposed.
| Groups Parameters | Control | MSG -exposed | MSG -exposed + 0.5% GRP | MSG -exposed + 1% GRP | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TG (mg/g tissue) | 175.97 ± 16.82a | 271.87 ± 28.74c | 241.87 ± 24.95bc | 213.87 ± 21.71b | 0.000 |
| Cho. (mg/g tissue) | 229.07 ± 23.72a | 292.53 ± 32.96b | 262.33 ± 26.28 ab | 231.32 ± 23.72 a | 0.005 |
| TP (mg/g tissue) | 40.39 ± 3.83c | 28.44 ± 2.86 a | 35.22 ± 2.93b | 35.68 ± 3.38b | 0.000 |
The results are displayed as mean ± SD. p < 0.05 is considered significant. The small letter “a” refers to the smallest value. Similar letters in each row imply partial or complete nonsignificance.
