Mean values with their SEM; n=6.

^a-c

Mean values with unlike superscript letters were significantly different, P<0.05 (Tukey post hoc test for body weight, food intake, liver weight, hepatic cholesterol, hepatic ME activity, hepatic gene expression of lipogenic enzymes; Steel-Dwass test for liver total lipids, hepatic triglyceride and hepatic G6PD activity). HSR, high-starch; HSC, high-sucrose; PA, sodium phytate; G6PD, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; ME, malic enzyme; FAS, fatty acid synthetase; SEM, standard error of the mean.
