× Adiposity index: (total abdominal fat × 100)/body weight. Hepatosomatic index: (liver weight × 100)/body weight. Results are means (standard deviation) (n = 7). * P < 0.05 vs. HFHS-C; & P < 0.05 vs. HFHS-FOM; # P < 0.05 vs. HFHS-GSE; $ P < 0.05 vs. HFHS-FOM&GSE. Comparisons were performed using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. These parameters have already been studied in the same cohort of animals and partially published [15,20,23]. ORAC: Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity; GPX: glutathione peroxidase; TFA: total fatty acids; FFA: free fatty acids.
