TC, Total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Apo A, apolipoprotein A; Apo B, apolipoprotein B; Ox-LDL, oxidized-low density lipoprotein. Results re expressed as means ± standard error of the mean (n = 8–10). ^# p < 0.05, ^## p < 0.01 compared with the NC group; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared with the HC group.
