TP, total protein; ALB, albumin; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; Glu, glucose; BUN, blood urea nitrogen. In the same row, values with no letter or the same letter superscripts mean no significant difference (p > 0.05), while values with different small letter superscripts mean significant difference (p < 0.05).
