Effect of cadmium and P. oleracea ethanolic extract on serum triglycerides and Cholesterol.

	TriG (mg/dl)	Cholesterol (mg/dl)
Control	47.6 ± 0.7	177.3 ± 2.5
PEE (2 g/kg bw)	52.7 ± 2.2	180.2 ± 4.6
Cadmium (3.5 mg/kg bw)	177.2 ± 4.3*	206.7 ± 2.1*
PEE(2 g/kg bw) + Cadmium (3.5 mg/kg bw)	92.8 ± 4.8*	179 ± 1.7

Each measurement was done at least in triplicate samples and Data is presented as mean ± SD (n = 8).

PEE = purslane ethanolic extract; TriG = Triglycerides.

^*Significantly different from the normal control group at p < 0.05.
