Concentrations (mean ±SD) of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), triglycerides (TG), glucose, fructosamine and insulin from blood samples at baseline (B), age 13 weeks, medium (M) and at euthanasia (E). Low fat, high carbohydrate (LFHC); high fat/cholesterol, low carbohydrate (HFLC); low fat, high carbohydrate/sucrose (LFHS). Differences between diets: *P<0.05, ***P<0.001, comparisons regarding only one of the other diets, are marked by the abbreviation of the respective diet. Differences within diets: a = P<0.05, b = P<0.01, c = P<0.001, comparisons are marked by the abbreviation(s) of blood samples. TG data has previously been published [47].
