Oxidized low density lipoproteins level in C₅₇BL₆ mice. (A) Ox-LDL level in particular weeks of the study; (B) Average ox-LDL level (n = 10). HFD—high-fat diet; HFD-0.1—high-fat diet supplemented with EEP 0.1 g/kg BM; HFD-1—high-fat diet supplemented with EEP 1 g/kg BM; SD-0.1—standard diet supplemented with EEP 0.1 g/kg BM; SD-1—standard diet supplemented with EEP 1 g/kg BM; SD—standard diet. The highest concentration of ox-LDL was recorded in mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). In groups HFD-0.1 and HFD-1, the concentration of ox-LDL was much lower than in HFD. The lowest concentration of ox-LDL was recorded for a standard diet supplemented with EEP in the dose of 1 g/kg BM (SD-1); (p < 0.05; LSD ANOVA test; a—significant difference vs. SD, b—significant difference vs. HFD).
