Biochemical data in the three groups of mice (means ± SD)

Indexes	Control group (n=8)	HF group (n=8)	HF+casein group (n=8)
TG (mmol/l)	3.1±0.6	7.5±2.0**	3.4±0.8##
TC (mmol/l)	13.7±2.7	27.8±4.0**	14.9±1.9##
HDL (mmol/l)	1.0±0.4	0.8±0.3	1.7±0.5*,##
LDL (mmol/l)	5.8±1.5	11.6±3.0**	9.5±1.3**,#

Compared to the controls, the mice fed with a high fat diet developed hyperlipidemia. The mice injected with 10% casein showed decreased plasma lipid concentrations compared with the HF group. TG: triglyceride, TC: total cholesterol, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, LDL: low density lipoprotein.
