Liver-to-body weight ratio (LBW) (A) and levels of hepatic free cholesterol (B) cholesteryl ester (C) and triacylglycerol (D). LBW in ApoE–/– mice fed with HFD was significantly increased (i.e., 2.47%) compared to ApoE–/– mice fed with HFD + APH (i.e., 2.01%) (p < 0.0001). No statistical difference was found in either hepatic free cholesterol (B) or cholesteryl ester (C), whereas hepatic triacylglycerol (D) content was significantly reduced in ApoE–/– mice fed HFD+APH (214.39 ± 29.67 nmol/mg) compared to values obtained from ApoE–/– control mice fed HFD (365.97 ± 46.20 nmol/mg). Data are presented as mean ± SD for n = 6 mice per group. Abbreviations: HFD, high-fat diet, APH, anchovy protein hydrolysates.
