ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; TG, triacylglycerol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Control = basal diet; YC = yeast control (basal diet+0.25% Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast powder); BA = basal diet+0.25% yeast with bacteriocin; LAB = basal diet+Lactobacillus cultures; BA+LAB = basal diet+0.25% yeast with bacteriocin+Lactobacillus cultures; SEM, standard error of the mean.
