Effect of TQ and HFD on lipid profile in different experimental groups. Total cholesterol (TC; A), Triglycerides (TG; B), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C; C), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C; D), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C; E) are expressed as mg/dl in different treated groups. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 6).**,## Significant at P < 0.01, and ***,### Significant at P < 0.001.**,*** Indicate comparisons with respect to the control group. ##,### Indicate comparisons with respect to the HFD group. Cont: Control, TQ: Thymoquinone, HFD: High fat diet, HFD + TQ: High fat diet + Thymoquinone.
