|---|---|---|---|---|
| NC | 4.73 ± 2.47 b | 4.21 ± 3.82 b | 7.85 ± 1.20 ab | 11.87 ± 1.26 a |

WW: wet weight; NC: negative control; HFD: high-fat diet; HFD + ME: HFD + mallow extract; HFD + PE: HFD + parsley extract. GSH: glutathione. Results expressed as mean ± SD; different superscripted letters (a, b) in the same column indicate a significant difference between groups’ means at p < 0.05.
