Values are expressed as mean ± SE of rats (n = 8 for each group) fed different diets for 5 weeks. Values with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 based on Tukey’s test. Diet groups: HF = high fat diet; HF1 = high fat diet + non-fermented mixture; HF2 = high fat diet + gochujang A; HF3 = high fat diet + gochujang B; HF4 = high fat diet + gochujang C. AT = adipose tissue

AI (atherogenic index) = (total cholesterol − HDL-cholesterol)/HDL-cholesterol; CRF (cardiac risk factor) = total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol

AT = adipose tissue
