IL6 and Insulin resistance: Both extracts significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced troponin I and creatine kinase-myocardial band levels, and significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced cardiac antioxidant activity by increasing glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, while decreasing malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α.
