HFD groups were orally administered with ethanol extract (EEA) from leaves of C. scolymus and atorvastatin (ATOR) at the doses mentioned earlier for 60 days. Values are given as means ± SD (n = 6).∗∗ p ≤ 0.01 and ∗∗∗ p ≤ 0.001 were considered significant compared to control groups; ^### p ≤ 0.001 was considered significant compared to HFD groups; ^¥p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant compared to HFD groups treated with ATOR.
