a

By these regimens the animals each received 1 mg of AmB per kg. The cholesterol enrichment containes 0.5% (wt/vol) cholesterol. Data are means ± standard deviations (n = 4 for Doc-AmB and n = 5 for ABLC). 

b

P < 0.05 versus Doc-AmB. 

c

P < 0.05 versus control rabbits. 

d

ND, below detectable limit of the assay.
