Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three replicates (n = 3). Values in the same column with different superscripts are different (p < 0.05). TP: total protein; GLU: glucose; TG: triglyceride; T-CHO: total cholesterol; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; and LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
