Effects of FC.Cr. and SC.Cr. on plasma levels of SOD (U/mL) and MDA (ng/mL) in HFD-STZ-induced rats. FC.Cr. and SC.Cr. were administered at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg after three weeks till the end of study duration. SOD (a) and MDA (b) were measured after drawing plasma from the treated and normal group of rats. The values are expressed as the mean of six animals in a group. Statistical analysis is performed with one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. All the groups are compared with the HFD-STZ group, while the HFD-STZ group is compared with the normal group. Results are considered significant () if, () and ifand highly significant () if.
