Table 5. Liver functions in all test groups.

Group ALT (U/L) AST (U/L)
Normal 11.66 ± 7.09 b 7.63 ± 7.30 b
Control 21.83 ± 4.28 a 13.73 ± 5.29 a
1.6FFAP 6.53 ± 2.46 c 5.66 ± 3.49bc
3.2FFAP 4.61 ± 2.39 c 2.11 ± 0.60 c
8.0FFAP 3.73 ± 2.49 c 1.93 ± 1.23 c

Plasma ALT and AST from all test groups were examined to study the effect of FFAP on liver function. The result showed FFAP diets significantly decreased plasma ALT and AST, 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.
