UA: uranyl acetate; GA: gallic acid; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL: very-low-density lipoprotein
Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 rats per group (One-way ANOVA followed by Duncan post-test)
#= significant difference between UA and the control groups
Ω = significant difference between GA + UA and the control groups
