^aP < 0.05.

^bP < 0.0001 vs the normal control group.

^cP < 0.0001 vs sodium fluoride exposed only group.

Group A: Normal control group; Group B: Received 10% white melon seed protein (WSP) biscuit meal only; Group C: Received 20% WSP biscuit meal only; Group D: Orally received 300 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) in drinking water; Group E: Received 300 mg/L NaF + Lisinopril (10 mg/kg bwt); Group F: Received 300 mg/L NaF + 10% WSP biscuit meal; Group G: Received 300 mg/L NaF and 20% WSP biscuit meal.
