The significant impact of experimental diets on (a) triglycerides, (b) total cholesterol, (c) thiol groups, (d,e) carbonyl groups and (f–h) TBARS. From the 8th week of age, rats were supplemented for 4 weeks with either dandelion leaf fraction (LF) or petal fraction (PF). The control group was not supplemented with dandelion. Results are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 6. * p ≤ 0.05 (two-way ANOVA/Tukey’s); see supplementary materials. Abbreviations: TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; TG, triglycerides and TC, total cholesterol.
