Fig. 2From: Surgical castration versus chemical castration in donkeys: response of stress, lipid profile and redox potential biomarkersSerum concentrations of lipid profile in surgical castration (S) and chemical castration (Ch) groups. Graphic representation of changes in serum lipid profile levels of donkeys at days 15, 30, 45, and 60 following surgical or CaCl2 castration vs. day 0 (pre-castration). Values are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 6 animals per group. * indicates significant difference between each time point post-castration and day 0 using repeated measures ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. # indicates significant difference between the two types of castration at each post-castration time point using independent-samples t-test. TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein-cholesterolBack to article page
