Values are mean ± SD (n = 8 each group). Statistical analyses were conducted by Duncan's multiple range test (P < 0.05). NS, Non-significance.

¹⁾Control, LDL receptor knockout (LDLR-KO) mice fed high cholesterol diet (HCD) and oral administration (OA) of purified water; CS50 and CS100, LDLR-KO mice fed HCD and OA of CS at a concentration of 50 and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively; SCS100 and SCS200, LDLR-KO mice fed HCD and OA of SCS at a concentration of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day, respectively.

²⁾Food efficiency ratio (%) : (total weight gain/total food intake) × 100.
