Values are means ± SEM, n = 12. HDL-c = High density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-c = Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; GPT = Glutamic pyruvate transaminase; GGT = Gamma glutamil transferase; GOT = Glutamic oxalacetic transaminase. Significant differences (Duncan; p<0.05) are indicated with different words.
