a) ENC^® 20 mg/kg/day.

b) AST, Aspartate transaminases (Units/ml).

c) ALT, Alanine transaminases (Units/ml).

d) Expressed as mmol/l.

To improve clarity, since values between RD 0 day and RD 21 days did not change significantly, they have been pooled; the same was for HFD 0 day and HFD 21 days. Results are reported as mean ± S.D. (n = 10/group) and analyzed by using ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post test.

*P < 0.05

**P < 0.01, vs RD-rats, same time.

°P < 0.05

°°P < 0.01 vs HFD 0–21.
