Table 1.

The effect of 5 weeks daily treatment with atorvastatin (50 mg/kg) and rutin (100 mg/kg) on serum lipid profile (mmol/l) including triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. The rats were divided into three groups; HTG-HFFD – hypetriacylglycerolemic rats fed with high-fat-high-fructose diet (HFFD), HTG-HFFD-A – hypertriacylglycerolemic rats fed with HFFD receiving atorvastatin, HTG-HFFD-R – hypertriacylglycerolemic rats fed with HFFD treated with rutin. HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. HDL-cholesterol – high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-cholesterol – low density lipoprotein cholesterol, n = 10 rats/group. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 HTG-HFFD vs HTG-HFFD-A, ##p < 0.01 HTG-HFFD-A vs HTG-HFFD-R.
