Effects of estradiol and selected antihyperlipidemic drugs on aortic TNF-α levels in ovariectomized Wistar rats fed with thermoxidized soya oil diet (A) and thermoxidized palm oil diet (B)

Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (n = 3)

#p < 0.05 compared to Sham accepted as significant

ap < 0.05 compared to OVX

*p < 0.05 compared to OVX + TPO/OVX + TSO

OVX – ovariectomized; TPO – thermoxidized palm oil; TSO – thermoxidized soya oil; ATV – atorvastatin; EZE – ezetimibe; ETD – estradiol; TNF-α – tumor necrosis factor-alpha
