Effect of AL treatment on plasma lipid concentrations. (A) Plasma TC concentrations, (B) plasma TG concentrations, and (C) plasma glucose concentrations. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. (n = 5). * and ** denote the differences among the control (C-mice) and experimental mice (H, H+AL1, or H+AL2 mice) were statistically significant at p < 0.05 (*) or p < 0.01 (**).‡ denotes the significant differences among AL-untreated H group and AL treated groups (i.e. H vs. H+AL1 or H+AL2 mice group, p < 0.01).
