The effect of diets on lipid profiles, free fatty acid (FFA) blood levels, liver enzymes, insulin level, and HOMA-IR Index. Mice consumed either a normal diet (ND), a high-fat diet (HFD), a high-fat diet plus 4% (w/w) of HN (HFDh) or HO (HFDo) peanuts for 18 weeks. At the end of the experiment, plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), alkaline phosphatase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (ALP), FFA levels, and insulin levels were measured in the plasma (n = 8). HOMA-IR index was calculated by using the formula: [Fasting insulin concentration (microU/ml) × Glucose concentration (mg/dl)/405]. A Tukey–Kramer HSD post hoc statistical test was performed. The value presented are mean ± SE (n = 8). Different letters indicate statistical variance at a significant level of p < 0.05.
