Variables of liver biochemical and lipid panel. A, B Liver total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and FFA content at 8 (A) and 16 weeks (B). C, D Serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and HDL at 8 (C) and 16 weeks (D). E, F Serum levels of TBIL (E) and TBA (F) at 8 and 16 weeks. A–F n = 3 for 8 weeks, n = 5 for 16 weeks. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to the controls. ap < 0.05 and aap < 0.01 compared to HF/G. bp < 0.05 and bbp < 0.01 compared to HFCD. TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, FFA free fatty acid, LDL low-density lipoprotein, HDL high-density lipoprotein, TBIL total bilirubin, TBA total bile acid
