Rats were fed the normal diet or high-fat diet with/without Spergularia marina Griseb powder supplementation for 4 weeks. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured in serum from the experimental rats. ND, Normal diet; HFD, High-fat diet; HFD-SL, High-fat diet + 3% of Spergularia marina Griseb; HFD-SH, High-fat diet + 5% of Spergularia marina Griseb. Values are mean ± SD, n = 8. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA using Kruskal–Wallis analysis followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Means labeled without a common letter differ, p < 0.05.
