All of the values are mean ± SD (n = 5). Mean values with the same superscript letters are not significantly different, whereas those with different superscript letters are significantly (P < 0.05) different. N, normal diet; HCD, high-cholesterol diet; N + P, normal diet with probiotic curd supplementation; HCD + P, high-cholesterol diet with probiotic curd supplementation.
