Effect of LYC on serum lipid profile in BPA-intoxicated female Wistar rats.
| Parameter | Experimental groups | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | LYC | BPA | BPA + LYC | |
| TC (mg/dl) | 102.00 ± 11.24b | 101.67 ± 11.85b | 146.33 ± 7.42a | 119.67 ± 4.09ab |
| TGs (mg/dl) | 81.00 ± 9.85ab | 73.00 ± 9.87b | 105.00 ± 2.52a | 97.67 ± 6.94ab |
| HDL-c (mg/dl) | 47.67 ± 3.93 | 52.00 ± 3.21 | 44.67 ± 3.71 | 47.33 ± 3.93 |
| LDL-c (mg/dl) | 52.53 ± 6.24b | 40.87 ± 6.91b | 83.13 ± 4.52a | 49.80 ± 5.31b |
Values are expressed as means ± SE (n = 7) in every group. BPA: bisphenol A; LYC: lycopene; TC: total cholesterol; TGs: triglycerides; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Within the same row, means with different superscript letters differ significantly at P ≤ 0.05.
