The results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 8/group). Values not sharing the same superscript letters within a row are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05. ¹ LS, lard- and corn starch-rich diet; LF, lard- and fructose-rich diet; OS, soybean oil- and corn starch-rich diet; OF, soybean oil- and fructose-rich diet; ² mmol/L; ³ Total cholesterol—HDL cholesterol. ⁴ log(triglycerides/HDL cholesterol).
