Materials and Methods 32 adult male wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:(1) control rats,(2) Rats treated with vehicle (corn-oil),(3) rats treated with FA (FAt), and (4) rats treated with FA plus VE plus vehicle (FAt+ VE) groups. FAt and FAt+ VE groups were exposed to FA by intraperitoneal injection (10 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks. Furthermore, FAt+ VE group were orally administered VE (30mg/kg/day) simultaneously. After the treatment, serum …
