Biochemical serum parameters of mice fed a Normal Diet (ND), a High-Fat Diet (HFD), HFD with 1% Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) extract (HPGL), and HFD with 5% PG extract (HPGH).

Parameters	ND	HFD	HPGL	HPGH
AST (U/L)	159 ± 90 ^a	254 ± 96 ^b	199 ± 70 ^a,b	175 ± 50 ^a,b
ALT (U/L)	39 ± 19 ^a	201 ± 133 ^b	187 ± 92 ^b	35 ± 20 ^a
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	141 ± 18 ^a	264 ± 62 ^b	254 ± 25 ^b	195 ± 51 ^c

The data were evaluated using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. Means with different letters, e.g., “a” or “b” are statistically different. Differences were considered significant at p values < 0.05.
