Values are shown as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 8). a, b Different letters indicate a significant difference among groups according to Tukey’s multiple comparison test (p < 0.05). NOR, normal diet; HFD, high-fat diet; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; IU, international unit.
