Values are means ± SEM. Values in the same row with different subscript are significantly different at p < 0.05. In the case of NEFA, p value for the comparison between MS and SB is p < 0.01. NEFA: non sterified fatty acid, HDL: high density liporpotein, ALT: alanine aminotransferase, AST: aspartate aminotransferase. MS: metabolic syndrome; WC: wheat control; OC; oat control; SA: snack A; SB: snack B.
