| HDL cholesterol (mmol/L) | 1.82 ± 0.096 | 1.79 ± 0.100 | 1.63 ± 0.085 | NS |
| Non-HDL cholesterol (mmol/L) |

Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 12). BW, body weight; HF, high-fat; HF+Mix1, high-fat supplemented with mulberry leaf extract (120 mg/kg BW), kidney bean extract (100 mg/kg BW) and coffee bean extract (20 mg/kg BW). Mean values within a row with differing superscript letters (a, b, c) are significantly different at p < 0.05 in a post hoc test.
