Metabolic parameters. (a–d) Male C57BL/6 J mice of 6 weeks of age were fed with each diet for 15 weeks as specified in Fig. 1. (a, b) Plasma levels of (a) total cholesterol (T-Cho); and (b) triglycerides (TG) in C57BL/6J mice after 15 weeks on different diets (n = 5–6). (c, d) (c) Blood glucose; and (d) plasma insulin levels after 8 weeks on different diets (n = 12). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM values.
