In the dill group, insulin fell from 13.27 ± 3.8 to 10.54 ± 4.51 (P = 0.004) and HOMA-IR from 4.88 ± 2.37 to 3.86 ± 2.32 (P = 0.039); LDL-C decreased from 81.00 ± 34.79 to 71.23 ± 26.63 (P = 0.029), total cholesterol from 160.28 ± 38.26 to 149.23 ± 26.70 (P = 0.03), and HDL-C increased from 41.85 ± 11.68 to 44.80 ± 9.89 (P = 0.007). MDA decreased from 3.34 ± 2.05 to 2.22 ± 1.57 (P = 0.034), and colonic motility-related…
