The statistical analysis was performed by an independent t test in comparison with the HD group (#p value < 0.05, *p value < 0.05, **p value < 0.01, ***p value < 0.001).

ND (normal-diet group), HD (high-fat diet group), HCLM (HFD with CLM administrated group), HFCLM (HFD with FCLM administrated group), HX (HFD with xenical administrated group).
