| HKO (kernel oil) | 3.03 ± 0.18a,1 | 3.44 ± 0.15b,1 | 3.79 ± 0.05b,2 |
| HF (fullfat) | 3.06 ± 0.12a,1 | 3.06 ± 0.11b,1 | 3.70 ± 0.09b,2 |
| HD (defatted) | 2.92 ± 0.18a,1 | 3.77 ± 0.09a,2 | 2.81 ± 0.04a,1 |
NC: normal diet group, PC: positive control, HS, HPO, HKO, HF, and HD: hypercholesterolemic group treated with 10 mg/kg/day simvastatin, 20 g kg−1 of pulp oil, 20 g kg−1 kernel oil, 50 g kg−1 fullfat pulp, or 50 g kg−1 defatted pulp, respectively. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Values within column followed by the same superscript letter are not significantly different at P > 0.05. Values within groups followed by the same superscript number are not significantly different at P > 0.05.
