^aG1: Healthy rats; G2: Hypercholesterolemic rats; G3: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed control croissants; G4: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 10% orange croissants; G5: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 15% orange croissants. G6: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 10% WR croissants; G7: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 15% WR croissants; G8: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 10% melon croissants. G9: Hypercholesterolemic rats consumed 15% melon croissants. Data are presented as means.
^a–hMeans with diverse letters in each row are significantly different at p < 0.05.
