Fig. 1 shows that the treatment with 8% CCl4reduced the TG and
cholesterol levels by 28% compared with the control group. The
MWE supplement significantly recovered the TG and cholesterol
levels. In a similar manner, treatment with silymarin, a wellknown liver protective agent, increased the TG and cholesterol
concentrations. On the other hand, CCl4 reduced the serum LDL
and HDL levels; this concentration reduction was not reversed by
MWE or silymarin administration (Fig. 2)
