  1. Data were expressed as Mean ± S.D and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Student Newman-Keuls method as post hoc test. Six rats were used in each group. aAll treated groups vs. Control; bRT + HCD vs RT group; cAA + HCD vs AA group; dRT + AA + HCD vs RT + AA group; eRT + HCD, AA + HCD and RT + AA + HCD vs HCD
