Control 2 (diabetic group)	120.45 ± 3.35	49.68 ± 3.39	31.12 ± 2.86	24.66 ± 2.14
100 mg/k (STZ + Thymus vulgaris)	115.25 ± 2.58	55.85 ± 2.98	29.36 ± 2.42	22.45 ± 1.86
200 mg/k (STZ + Thymus vulgaris)	109.18 ± 2.76	60.19 ± 3.56	27.56 ± 2.21	21.59 ± 1.79

Data are presented as the means ± SD of five replicates. Data were analyzed by T-test. : value with the same letter has no significant but value with a different letter has significant at 0.05. TC: total cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-C: very low density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
