Effects of S. horneri on serum lipid levels.

	Normal	HF	HF + ShL	HF + ShH
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	150 ± 9	217 ± 6 ##	215 ± 7	189 ± 7 *
HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)	86 ± 2	88 ± 2	85 ± 2	87 ± 2
Non-HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)	64 ± 7	128 ± 7 ##	124 ± 6	99 ± 5 **
Triglyceride (mg/dL)	69 ± 8	48 ± 6	33 ± 3	45 ± 4

Each value represents the mean ± SEM for 7–8 mice. Normal, normal diet; HF, high-fat diet; HF + ShL, high-fat diet mixed with 2% S horneri; HF + ShH, high-fat diet mixed with 6% S. horneri. Significantly different from the HF group, * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. Significantly different from the Normal group, ## p < 0.01.
