STD: mice fed with STD diet; CAF: mice fed with CAF diet; OLE: mice fed with CAF diet plus Ole at 0.037 mmol/kg/day; Ac-OLE: mice fed with CAF diet plus Ac-Ole at 0.025 mmol/kg/day; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; HDL: high density lipoproteins; LDL: low density lipoproteins. Reference range calculated on the data published in Mouse Database Phenomena (Jackson Laboratory) (http://phenome.jax.org). Values are mean ± SD. , , and compared to STD; , , and compared to CAF.
