Abbreviations: TC, total cholesterol; HDL, high density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; AST, aspartate transaminase; URAM, unfermented Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae; FRAM, fermented Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae. Data were expressed as Mean ± SD and statistically evaluated using one way ANOVA followed by LSD pos-hoc test.
