Table 4. Testicular TC, TG and PL levels in the rats treated with NDMA and BA (alone and in combination).

Treatments	TC (mM/l)	TG (mM/l)	PL (mM/l)	TC/PL
Control	0.37 ± 0.09	0.45 ± 0.30	1.80 ± 0.37	0.17
BA	0.35 ± 0.12a	0.66 ± 0.52a	1.95 ± 0.43a	0.18
NDMA	0.52 ± 0.18b	1.12 ± 0.39b	1.02 ± 0.28b	0.51b
BA + NDMA	0.41 ± 0.33c	0.72 ± 0.12c	1.75 ± 0.57	0.25c

Data expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 6).

^aStatistically similar to [BA + NDMA] (P > 0.001).

^bStatistically different from control (P < 0.05).

^cStatistically different from NDMA (P < 0.05).

TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; PL: phospholipids; BA: betulinic acid; NDMA: N-nitrosodimethylamine.
