Figure 7 Lipid profiles in Letrozole+HFD, Letrozole, HFD, and control groups of rats. Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were measured by enzymatic colorimetric test technique. (A) Total cholesterol. (B) High-density lipoprotein cholesterol. (C) Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. (D) TC/HDL-C ratio. Data are presented as mean±SEM of 6 rats and analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test. * P 0.05, ** P 0.01, *** P 0.001 compared with control group. # P 0.05, ## P 0.01 compared with Letrozole group. NS – not significant.
