Data represent mean ± SD (n = 6). Different alphabet in each column denotes significant difference (P < 0.05) in Tukey's multiple comparison test. Groupings are the same as Figure 2. HDL: high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; Chol.: cholesterol; SIM: Simvastatin; Trig.: triacylglyceride.
