Table 1.

The lipid metabolic parameters among the three groups.

Lipid profiles	C (n = 8)	HF (n = 8)	HFG (n = 7)
TC (mmol/l)	2.51 ± 0.05	2.83 ± 0.15	2.64 ± 0.04
TG (mmol/l)	0.37 ± 0.02	0.61 ± 0.05∗∗	0.41 ± 0.05##
HDL-C (mmol/l)	1.56 ± 0.03	1.54 ± 0.04	1.66 ± 0.02#
LDL-C (mmol/l)	0.13 ± 0.01	0.16 ± 0.02	0.12 ± 0.01
FFA (nmol/l)	1526.00 ± 113.80	1790.00 ± 99.98	1537.00 ± 59.25

Data are expressed as means ± S.E.M (n = 7–8/group). Mean values were significantly different between the HF group and C group: ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01. Mean values were significantly different between the HFG group and HF group: ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01. C, normal control diet; HF, high-fat diet; HFG, high-fat diet with genistein. TC, total cholesterol; TG, triacylglycerol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FFA, free fatty acids.
