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.
