  1. In brain tissues, MDA level and catalase activities were significantly increased in HFD compared with control group and treatment with G. Cambogia ameliorated these changes (Table 2).
  2. Values are statically analyzed by one way ANOVA and reported as means ± SEM.
  3. Means have different letters indicate significant variation at (P ≤ 0.05), while the same letters indicate non significant variation
