| BUN, mg/dL | 20.47 ± 0.77 | 20.86 ± 0.23 | 19.44 ± 0.60 |
Data are expressed as mean± SE. ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test were used to compare the results among different treatment groups. Statistical significance between groups is shown by: * p < 0.05; **** p < 0.0001 compared as control group and, # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 compared as exercise Group. UCII, Undenatured type II collagen; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; TP, total protein; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; TBil, total bilirubin; CK, creatinine kinase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen. Control: no exercise and no UCII, E: exercised rats, E + UCII, exercised rats receiving 4 mg/kg BW/day UCII.
