Data represent mean ± S.E of observations from seven animals.
a: significant difference from the control group, b: significant difference from long chain-saturated (SFD) group, c: significant difference from monounsaturated (MUFAs) group, d: significant difference from polyunsaturated (PUFAs) group, e: significant difference from medium chain (MCFAs) group. Significance: p < 0.05. ALT: alanine transaminase, AST: aspartate transaminase, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglycerides, HDL-c: high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-c: low density lipoprotein cholesterol, SCFAs: short chain fatty acids. n: number of rats in each group.
