Table 3 Glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol (mg/dl) levels in the sera of the animals at the end of the study

From: Different exercise protocols improve metabolic syndrome markers, tissue triglycerides content and antioxidant status in rats

Parameter	C	S	SA	A
Glucose	98.8 ± 9.9^a	90.0 ± 5.2^a	88.7 ± 3.0^a	93.0 ± 4.1^a
Triglycerides	182.8 ± 40.9^a	174.0 ± 46.3^a	124.5 ± 14.4^a	163.8 ± 31.7^a
HDL-Cholesterol	42.7 ± 5.3^a	54.4 ± 7.8^{b[p < 0.05]}	53.1 ± 4.6^ab	47.4 ± 2.2^{b[p < 0.05]}
LDL-Cholesterol	62.9 ± 3.9^a	70.4 ± 6.5^ab	70.0 ± 4.7^{b[p < 0.05]}	71.1 ± 7.5^ab

C = Control; S = Strength Training; AS = Concurrent Training; A = Aerobic Training. n = 8 animals per group. Results are expressed as the means ± standard deviation. Different letters indicate the significant differences between groups (p ≤ 0.05).
