Variable Index	Chow Diet	HMD
Body weight, g	25.57 ± 0.73	25.70 ± 0.39
Liver/body weight ratio	0.042 ± 0.000	0.047 ± 0.001**
Plasma Hcy, µM	3.34 ± 0.80	20.58 ± 2.18**
Plasma TG, mM	0.51 ± 0.41	0.52 ± 0.04
Plasma Chol, mM	1.67 ± 0.10	1.92 ± 0.08

Data are means ± SE. HMD, high-metnionine diet; Hcy, homocysteine; TG, triglyceride; Chol, cholesterol.

^**P < 0.01 vs. chow diet (n = 6 for chow diet; n = 8 for HMD).
