Tomato and broccoli extracts treatment at different doses significantly reduced lipid profile parameters in HFD rats. C = control; HFD = high fat diet; SD = stop diet; T 200 = tomato extract 200 mg/kg; T 400 = tomato 400 mg/kg; B 200 = broccoli 200 mg/kg; B 400 = broccoli 400 mg/kg; CX = Chromax. TC = total cholesterol; TAG = triglycerides; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test. * =Significant from control at P < 0.0001, **Significant from HFD at P < 0.0001, *** =Significant from SD at P < 0.05, **** = Significant from T 400 at P < 0.005. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test
