(Values are mean ± standard error of the mean (S.E.M.) of seven measurements performed on seven rat samples for each studied group)
Mean values were significantly different compared with the HFD group (two-tailed unpaired t-test):
*P<0.05
**P<0.01.
Mean values were significantly different compared with the RD group (two-tailed unpaired t-test):
†P<0.05
