| Biochemical factors(μmol/l) | Groups | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cholesterolemic diet | 5 ml Vinegar with %1 chol | 10 ml Vinegar with %1 chol | Normal diet | ||
| Nitrite | baseline | 33.78 ± 23.1 | 31.19 ± 18.4 | 32.54 ± 32.7 | 34.49 ± 21.0 |
| postprandial | 81.17 ± 28.8 | 58.27 ± 28.2 | 62.62 ± 42.0 | 20.32 ± 3.6* | |
| Nitrate | baseline | 17.9 ± 5.1 | 19.7 ± 6.9 | 17.0 ± 2.1 | 16.7 ± 1.6 |
| postprandial | 23.0 ± 8.6 | 24.1 ± 5.1 | 20.4 ± 8.7 | 12.3 ± 3.5 | |
Mean Nitrite and Nitrate, μmol/l ± SD, in each group (n = 8 for each experimental group).*p < 0.05: Pairwise comparison of differences between baseline and postprandial when compared to cholesterolemic group.
