Blood parameters are altered by the HF/HS diet. Plasma glucose (a), cholesterol (b) and triglyceride levels (c) were measured in mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS), after 0, 3 and 6 months of supplementation. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed using ANOVA; n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS) per time point. ***p < 0.001. The size distribution of the plasma HDL lipoproteins was assessed by using electrophoresis on Spiragel™ 1.5–25% in mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS) after 90 (d) and 180 (e) days of supplementation. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed using Student’s unpaired t-test; n = 20 (Std) and n = 19 (HF/HS) per time point. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001. (f) Plasma MDA levels in mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS) were measured after 180 days of supplementation. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed Student’s unpaired t-test; n = 20 (Std) and n = 14 (HF/HS). ***p < 0.001. Plasma total fatty acid (g) and lipopolysaccharide (h) levels in mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS) were assessed by LC-MS/MS after 180 days of supplementation. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed by using the Mann-Whitney U-test; n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS). ***p < 0.001.
