Values in the same row with no letter or the same letter superscripts mean no significant difference (p > 0.05), while with different letter superscripts mean significant difference (p < 0.05).T1: the broilers were fed a basal diet; T2: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.2%; T3: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.4%; T4: the broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with AGE at 0.6%.TCHO: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides.
