Notes.
Serum biochemical parameters of rats fed control (C, n = 6), high fat diet (HFD, n = 9), fish oil-high fat diet (FO-HFD, n = 9) or krill-oil high fat diet (KO-HFD, n = 9). Data is shown as mean ± standard deviation. a,b,cMean values with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (p < 0.05).
a
C vs. HFD or C vs. FO-HFD or C vs. KO-HFD, p < 0.05.
b
HFD vs. FO-HFD or HFD vs. KO-HFD, p < 0.05.
c
FO-HFD vs. KO-HFD, p < 0.05. p was calculated by the One-way Anova test, and Bonferroni test was performed for post-hoc analysis.
