Effects of sub-chronic oral administration of ICR on the lipid profile of females rats

Females	ICR (mg/kg b.w.)
	Control	250	500	1000
TC (mmol/L)	1.158 ± 0.173	1.699 ± 0.161 ns	1.521 ± 0.172 ns	1.337 ± 0.167 ns
TG (mmol/L)	1.059 ± 0.141	0.843 ± 0.100 ns	1.289 ± 0.175 ns	0.994 ± 0.141 ns
HDL (mmol/L)	0.946 ± 0.129	0.883 ± 0.072 ns	0.809 ± 0.077 ns	0.965 ± 0.070 ns
LDL (mmol/L)	0.430 ± 0.023	0.442 ± 0.025ns	0.399 ± 0.0009 ns	0.378 ± 0.045 ns

Results were expressed as Mean ± SEM for n = 5 animals per group. *:Significantly different from the control at p < 0.05; TC: Total cholesterol; TG: Total triglyceride; HDL: High density lipoprotein; LDL: Low density lipoprotein; ns: non significative; ICR: methanol extract of the roots of Imperata cylindrica
