The data was analyzed used of t-independent andANOVA at significance level of P<0.05. Results: the Result showed that significant increase APOA-1, significantdecrease APOB in control- pomegranate juice and pomegranate juice-training and the ratio of APO-B/APOA-1 in all threegroups had a significant decrease.
