| Groups | Parameters | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| ||||
| TCH (mg/dL) | TG (mg/dL) | Glu (mg/dL) | ||
| Group 1 | control | 65.2 ± 5.7a | 35.2 ± 8.1a | 102.2 ± 13.0 |
| Group 2 | High-fat diet | 73.6 ± 8.0b | 43.6 ± 7.2b | 106.0 ± 13.5 |
| Group 3 | arginine | 67.2 ± 9.8a,b | 33.2 ± 6.7a | 100.7 ± 10.9 |
Values are calculated as means ± SEM for twelve rats. Means in the same column with different superscripts are significantly different (P<0.05).
