Effect of dietary supplementation with red ginger (turmeric) and white ginger (2% and 4%) on the level of liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs) in high-cholesteroldiet-fed rats. Values represent mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 6). * Significantly different from the control group at p < 0.05. 2% RG = rats fed with diet supplemented with 2% red ginger plus 2% cholesterol; 2% WG = rats fed with diet supplemented with 2% white ginger plus 2% cholesterol; 4% RG = rats fed with diet supplemented with 4% red ginger plus 2% cholesterol; 4% WG = rats fed with diet supplemented with 4% white ginger plus 2% cholesterol basal = normal control rats, fed with basal diet; control = rats fed with basal diet plus 2% cholesterol (hypercholesterolemic rats); MDA = malondialdehyde.
