Data were analysed by 1-way ANOVA and presented as mean ± SD. Values were considered significantly different at p < 0.05. a: vs. control-fed standard diet; b: vs. HFD, c: vs. HFD + MP leaf ethanolic extract (300 mg/kg), d: vs. MP leaf ethanolic (600 mg/kg). Moringa peregrina leaf extract, MPBE: Moringa peregrina bark extract. CHOL: Total cholesterol. TGs: triglycerides. LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
