	Parents
Variables	Control group	Imidacloprid group	Chlorpyrifos group
TC (mg/dL)	83.3 ± 7.4^b	126.5 ± 5.9^a	103.5 ± 8.1^a,b
TG (mg/dL)	69.50 ± 5.0^a	86.8 ± 7.2^a	77.8 ± 4.7^a
HDL-C (mg/dL)	17.5 ± 1.0^a	14.3 ± 0.5^b	13.8 ± 0.9^b
LDL-C (mg/dL)	49.1 ± 7.9^b	99.5 ± 6.6^a	79.0 ± 8.5^a

Group 1= normal control, Group 2= imidacloprid, Group 3 = chlorpyrifos, TC = total cholesterol, TG = triglycerides, HDL-C = high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C = low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Values are given as mean± SEM (n =6). Means with common lower case letter in column do not differ significantly at 5 % (p < 0.05) level of significance
