Effect of octacosanol and policosanol on plasma metabolic parameters of mice fed on chow, HFD and HFD treated with octacosanol or policosanol. (a–e) Concentrations of blood glucose (a), plasma insulin (b), plasma triglycerides (TGs) (c), plasma total cholesterol (TC) (d) and plasma free fatty acids (FFA) (e) of mice fed on chow, HFD and HFD treated with octacosanol or policosanol for four weeks (n = 5). Values represent mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 by using one-way ANOVA followed by scheffe post hoc test.
