Cholesterol and LDL levels were significantly higher before the start of diet in ApoE KO rats compared to the Sprague Dawleys rats, (**) P < 0.0001; After 5 months of diet, cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in ApoE KO rats fed on western diet compared to the ApoE KO and Sprague Dawley rats on standard diet, (**) P < 0.0001; HDL level was significantly higher in Sprague Dawley rats before and after control diet compared to the ApoE KO rats, (**) P < 0.0001; ANOVA, n = 8, n = 7.
