- Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 10 rats per group). C: controls group, D: 2, 4-D treated group, D/EVOO: 2, 4-D plus extra virgin olive oil, D/OOHF: .2, 4-D plus hydrophilic fraction, D/OOLF: .2, 4-D plus lipophilic fraction, EVOO: extra virgin olive oil treated group alone, OOHF: group treated with hydrophilic fraction of olive oil alone, OOLF: group treated with lipophilic fraction of olive oil alone. Comparison between groups was made using ANOVA one way analysis with Bonferroni test.
