- HDL-C- High density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C- Low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC- Total cholesterol; TG- Triglycerides. Sample size (n) is 5 for each group.* -Indicates significant difference among all groups at p < 0.05 as tested by one-way ANOVA. Superscript letters (a) - indicates significant differences compared to group I; (b) - indicates significant differences compared to group VI at p < 0.05 as tested by Tukey post hoc multiple comparisons
