Table 2. Hepatic lipid profile in control and experimental groups of rats.

	Control	HFD	HFD + SIM (20 mg/kg)	HFD + PCA_{50 mg/kg}	HFD + PCA_{100 mg/kg}
Hepatic triglycerides	4.24 3 ± 0.58	7.57 ± 0.23 ^a)	4.02 ± 0.42 ^b)	5.41 ± 0.40 ^b)	4.81 ± 0.29 ^b)
Hepatic total cholesterol	6.57 ± 0.69	16.37 ± 0.55 ^a)	7.87 ± 0.68 ^b)	12.56 ± 1.2 ^b)	11.32 ± 0.49 ^b)

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (mean of six determinations). PCA: protocatechuic acid. Control group; HFD represents the group fed with high fat and fructose diet; SIM represents simvastatin; PCA_{50 mg/kg} represents protocatechuic acid at 50 mg/kg and PCA_{100 mg/kg} represents protocatechuic acid at 100 mg/kg. a) and b) indicate significant differences compared to the values of Control and HFD groups, respectively at P<0.05.
