Hepatic lipid indices, concentrations of SOD, MDA and GSH-Px in 10% liver homogenate

Parameter	Group C	Group M	Group E1	Group E2
TG (mmol/L)	0.62 ± 0.27^a	2.24 ± 0.45^b	1.84 ± 0.45^b,^c	1.46 ± 0.67^c
TC (mmol/L)	0.70 ± 0.18^a	2.41 ± 0.51^b	2.60 ± 1.02^b	1.94 ± 0.82^b
MDA (nmol/mgprot)	2.18 ± 0.56^a	2.34 ± 0.31^a	1.86 ± 0.22^a	0.99 ± 0.30^b
SOD (U/mgprot)	32.99 ± 4.88^a	31.11 ± 2.86^a	33.57 ± 5.03^a	44.28 ± 7.40^b
GSH-Px (U/mgprot)	642 ± 108^a	330 ± 68^b	341 ± 41^b	448 ± 68^c

The concentration of liver homogenate was diluted to one-tenth with normal saline. Group C were treated with standard restricted diet (3/4 amount compared with ad libitum, n = 5); Group M were given high fat liquid diet ad libitum (n = 5); Group E1 were treated with high fat liquid diet ad libitum and MTBITC by gavage (9 mg/kg body weight per day, n = 5); Group E2 were treated with high fat liquid diet ad libitum and MTBITC by gavage (18 mg/kg body weight per day, n = 5); All the rats were orally treated with soybean oil (35 g/L diet) as vehicle. TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; MDA, malondialdehyde; SOD, superoxide dismutase; GSH-Px, glutathione-peroxidase; MTBITC, 4-(Methylthio)-3-butenyl isothiocyanate. Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5).

Values in a line with a different letter are significantly different at P < 0.05.
