Comb. 1: combination 1 (artichoke, turmeric, and PPL). Comb. 2: combination 2 (artichoke, turmeric, PPL, and garlic). Values are presented as means ± SEM, with n = 8 for each data point. Symbols mean statistically significant; ^#P < 0.05 and *P < 0.0001, compared to the control. For clarity reasons, error bars were not applied to the figure given that error range was 2–5 %.
