Values are mean ± standard errors.
Means in the same column with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05.
Group I (control); Group II: Propolis 200 mg/kg. B.W.; Group III: CCl4-treated rats 2 ml/kg B.W./i.p.; and Group IV: CCl4 + propolis.
TC = Total cholesterol; TAG = Triacylglycerol; vLDL-c = Very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c = Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-c = High-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
