Comparison of lipid parameters amongst the four groups.

Parameters	Group I	Group II	Group III	Group IV
TC (mg/dL)	163.87 ± 27.44	167.56 ± 33.51	168.71 ± 30.96	174.98 ± 36.29
TGL (mg/dL)	99.56a ± 34.02	126.59b ± 37.71	127.29b ± 45.51	143.54b ± 43.4
LDL-C (mg/dL)	92.43a ± 27.09	105.52ab ± 30.17	101.41ab ± 31.77	112.29b ± 30.18
HDL-C (mg/dL)	51.68a ± 16.99	36.76b ± 9.92	42.06b ± 14.91	35.94b ± 9.19

The values are expressed as mean + standard deviation; the statistical analysis was done by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by post-hoc Tukey-Kramer test when the means were significantly different. Means in a row bearing a common superscript do not differ significantly
