Table 4. Plasma and liver lipid concentrations in all test group.
Blood | Liver | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group | TG (mg/dL) | TC (mg/dL) | HDL-C (mg/dL) | LDL-C (mg/dL) | LDL/HDL-C ratio | TC (mg/g) | TG (mg/g) |
Normal | 51.64 ± 3.20 b | 74.65 ± 3.45 b | 25.3 ± 1.65 b | 47.3 ± 3.76 b | 1.89 ± 0.14 a | 45.0 ± 0.21ab | 75.2 ± 0.37ab |
Control | 60.31 ± 4.76 a | 90.69 ± 2.69 a | 30.19 ± 2.03 a | 58.93 ± 2.69 a | 1.94 ± 0.14 a | 56.1 ± 0.48 a | 87.3 ± 0.45 a |

8.0FFAP | 63.37 ± 6.26 a | 90.27 ± 3.64 a | 32.07 ± 2.44 a | 60.71 ± 2.88 a | 1.91 ± 0.25 a | 41.4 ± 0.15 b | 69.6 ± 0.18 b |
The result showed that FFAP diet has no effect on plasma lipid levels. On the other hand, FFAP diet significantly decreased liver TC and TG levels, p<0.05. All values are Mean ± SD, n = 9. All data was tested using Duncan’s multiple range tests, where significance between groups (p<0.05) is denoted by dissimilar lowercase letters. Normal: Normal diet; Control: Normal diet + 0.2% cholesterol; 1.6FFAP: control diet + 1.6%FFAP; 3.2FFAP: control diet + 3.2% FFAP; 8.0FFAP: control diet + 8.0%FFAP.
