Effect of costus treatments on lipid profiles in the different groups studied.

	Control	Costus	EST	EST₊Costus
Cholesterol (mg/dl)	94.6# ± 1.939	94.2# ± 2.853	161.8* ± 2.478	132.8*# ± 1.845
Tg (mg/dl)	105.6# ± 3.108	97.4# ± 2.943	166.0* ± 3.209	130.1*# ± 1.761
HDL (mg/dl)	41.1# ± 1.37	45.5# ± 2.28	29.2* ± 1.02	32.0* ± 0.76
LDL (mg/dl)	31.38# ± 3.018	29.34# ± 4.045	99.4* ± 3.880	80.8* ± 1.966

Data are expressed as mean ± SE of 10 observations. Where, EST, Ehrlich solid tumor; EST + Costus, treated Ehrlich solid tomor with Costus. Significant difference from the control group at *p < 0.05. Significant difference from the EST group at #p < 0.05.
