Lycopene: Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant Effects toward Bisphenol A-Induced Toxicity in Female Wistar Rats

Table 3

Effect of LYC on serum lipid profile in BPA-intoxicated female Wistar rats.

Parameter	Experimental groups
	Control	LYC	BPA	BPA + LYC
TC (mg/dl)	102.00 ± 11.24^b	101.67 ± 11.85^b	146.33 ± 7.42^a	119.67 ± 4.09^ab
TGs (mg/dl)	81.00 ± 9.85^ab	73.00 ± 9.87^b	105.00 ± 2.52^a	97.67 ± 6.94^ab
HDL-c (mg/dl)	47.67 ± 3.93	52.00 ± 3.21	44.67 ± 3.71	47.33 ± 3.93
LDL-c (mg/dl)	52.53 ± 6.24^b	40.87 ± 6.91^b	83.13 ± 4.52^a	49.80 ± 5.31^b

Values are expressed as means ± SE () in every group. BPA: bisphenol A; LYC: lycopene; TC: total cholesterol; TGs: triglycerides; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Within the same row, means with different superscript letters differ significantly at .
