Table III. Plasma glucose, lipid profile and microhematocrit for mice fed with a Western control diet (CTR) or a Western diet with 0.2% cholesterol (WD) for 14 weeks. Experimental groups (n=7/group) were either supplemented with broccoli flour (BF; 0.67% or 1.34%) for 14 weeks or only in the last 4 weeks (4w).

HDL-c: High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; TC: total cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; TG: triglycerides. Data are expressed as the mean±standard error of the mean, n=7. Significantly different by one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test at: *p<0.05, **p<0.01 from CTR; ^##p<0.01 from WD.
