Values are mean ± SD for 6 rats in each group. Values are not sharing a common superscript letter (a, b and c) differ significantly at p < 0.05 (DMRT). Cholesterol—mg/dl serum and mg/g tissue; triglycerides—mg/dl serum and mg/g tissue; free fatty acids—mg/dl serum and mg/g tissue; phospholipid–mg/dl serum and mg/g tissue. HDN—hesperidin, Fe—ferrous sulfate.
