| EL | 206.0 ± 3.9 | 10.3 ± 0.2 | 346.3 ± 9.0a | 3.0 ± 0.08c |
| EC | 203.6 ± 2.1 | 10.2 ± 0.1 | 363.0 ± 5.1ab | 2.9 ± 0.05c |
1 Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Means in the same column with different superscript letters significantly differ (p < 0.05). 2 C, control group; CL, control diet with lard group; CC, control diet with cocoa butter group; E, ethanol group; EL, ethanol diet with lard group; EC, ethanol diet with cocoa butter group. 3 Relative liver weight: (liver weight/BW) × 100%.
