The changes of hepatic total cholesterol and triglyceride concentration in normal and high fructose rats fed Gelidium for 23 weeks.

	Con	HF	HF + GA
Total cholesterol (mg/g liver)	115.5 ± 18.1 *	144.4 ± 18.0	107.9 ± 23.6 *
Total cholesterol (g/liver)	3.4 ± 0.9 *	5.0 ± 1.5	3.4 ± 1.1 *
Triglyceride (mg/g liver)	40.7 ± 13.1 *	96.5 ± 27.9	61.5 ± 12.5 *
Triglyceride (g/liver)	1.2 ± 0.4 *	3.4 ± 1.3	2.1 ± 0.6 *
Hepatic TBARS (n mol/g)	29.7 ± 9.5 *	43.8 ± 18.4	27.7 ± 2.7 *

Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 8).

^*p < 0.05 compared with HF.

Con = control; HF = high fructose; HF + GA = high fructose + Gelidium; TBARS = thiobarbituric acid reactive substances.
