Table 2.
Body weight (g), glucose (mg/dL), total cholesterol (TCh) (mmol/L), triacylglycerols (TAG) (mmol/L) level in plasma in apoE/LDLR−/− mice (n = 10) fed experimental diets. The means bearing different letters were significantly different (p < 0.05). Small letters indicate a separate comparison between groups in SHORT experiment. Capital letters indicate a separate comparison between groups in LONG experiment.
