Commercial diet (CD); Hypercholesterolemic Casein Diet (CHD); Whole Mung Bean Diet (WCMBD) Germinated Mung Bean Diet (GMBD). Mean ± SD. Mean values in lines with different letter superscripts, within each component, are statistically different at p < 0.05 (ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). A Commercial diet Labina®, manufacturer Purina®. B 90.4% protein. C In accordance with AIN-93 recommendations for growing rodents (Reeves et al., 1993). D Carbohydrate calculated by difference, including dietary fibre. TEV: Total Energy Value.
