Effect of ND or HFD on plasma parameters after 2 months

	ND	HFD
Lipid peroxides TBARS (μmol/L/mg of total proteins)	2.04 ± 0.29	3.07 ± 0.60
Carbonylated proteins (nmol/mg of total proteins)	0.25 ± 0.03	0.32 ± 0.03
Triglycerides (mmol/L)	1.58 ± 0.07	8.46 ± 1.19**
Cholesterol (mmol/L)	2.92 ± 0.41	3.43 ± 0.47
HOMA2	2,4 ± 0,12	4,5 ± 0,4***

The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (ND, n = 6 and HFD, n = 10. **: p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001: significant differences between ND and HFD rats).
