●Data are means ± SD of eight rats in each group.
●Data are expressed as mg/dL. Total lipids are expressed as g/dL.
●Unshared superscript letters between groups are the significance values at p< 0.0001.
●Values between brackets are percentage change over control group.
●Values between parentheses are percentage change over cholesterolemic group.
●Statistical analysis is carried out by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) – Costatsoftware computer program accompanied with LSD between groups at p<0.05.
●1: control group; 2: cholesterol untreated group; 3: group treated with root extract; 4: group treated with flower extract; 5: fenofibrate-treated group.
