Table 4: Level of plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), HDL-C and LDL-C of normal and experimental groups of rats. Values aregiven as mean ± SD for groups of eight animals each. *Significantly different from normal group at p<0.01. a: significant from normal control; b:significant from ferrous sulfate (30mg/Kg.b.w.)supplement group; c: significant from cranberry extract (75 mg/kg b.w.); d: significant fromcranberry extract (150 mg/kg b.w.). LDL-C (mg/dl)=TC-HDL-[TG/5].
