Effect of treatment on lipid profile of animals in the control and treated groups.
Groups | N | PB | FB | PWB | SPB |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tol cholesterol (mmol/) | 1.75 ± 0.13b | 2.26 ± 0.13a | 2.72 ± 0.17a | 3.04 ± 0.30a | 2.82 ± 0.15a |
LDL (mmol/L) | 0.96 ± 0.25a | 1.36 ± 0.13a | 1.81 ± 0.21a | 1.94 ± 0.35a | 1.84 ± 0.22a |
HDL (mmol/L) | 0.68 ± 0.11a | 0.54 ± 0.07a | 0.58 ± 0.07a | 0.74 ± .06a | 0.72 ± 0.08a |
Triglycerides (mmol/L) | 0.78 ± 0.06a | 0.74 ± 0.05a | 0.72 ± 0.09a | 0.80 ± 0.12a | 0.58 ± 0.91a |
Data presented are means and standard errors of lipid profiles of animal groups. Tol cholesterol: total cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoproteins; HDL: high-density lipoproteins. Means with different letters in a row differ, p < 0.05. N = normal/standard rat chow, PB = plain biscuits, FB = biscuits fortified with PWL and OFSP, PWB = biscuits fortified with PWL only, and SPB = biscuits fortified with OFSP only.
