Cardiac tissue oxidative stress and inflammation after vitamin D administrations in high fat- diet induced obese rats

Table 2 Vitamin D concentrations in study groups

Groups	16^th week	21^th week	Mean difference	^† P value
ND	47.50 ± 7.32	36.30 ± 7.74	-11.20 ± 1	0.001
ND + Vitamin D	54.87 ± 11.53	119.09 ± 26.01	64.22 ± 7.8	0.001
HFD	51.19 ± 11.16	37.70 ± 11.53	-13.49 ± 4.25	0.01
HFD + Vitamin D	53.24 ± 14.11	123.70 ± 39.39	70.46 ± 12.85	0.001
^‡ P value	0.50	0.001

Data are expressed as means ± SD. Statistical differences between groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test for Post Hoc analysis. Intra group comparisons of serum vitamin D was performed by paired t-test analysis. ^† P value and ^‡ P value indicated intra group and inter group differences, respectively. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
