The table shows the mean and standard deviation of ALT, AST, GGT, cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, creatinine, and glucose that were determined in HFD-rats and the respective treatments at 14 months of age. The significant statistical differences between groups with respect to the HFD are marked with ∗. The exact probability value is indicated in the graph. The comparisons were established using ANOVA and a post hoc Holm-Sidak n = 5. ∗p < 0.05.
