Figure 1

Effects of Acacia senegal seed extract (AS, 500 mg/kg/day, p.o.) or statin (0.25 mg/kg/day, p.o.) treatment for 45 days on the alteration in cardiac lipid peroxidation (nM MDA/mg protein/h) in hypercholesterolemic (Chol) diet fed atherosclerotic male rabbits. Data are means ± S.E.M. (); a, and c, as compared to the respective control values and g, as compared to the respective values of the Chol diet fed group.
