NCD = normal control diet group; HFD = high fat diet group; PIL = PIT at 400 mg/kg/d; PIH = PIT at 600 mg/kg/d; SIM = simvastatin at 20 mg/kg/d. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 10). Means with the same superscript alphabet in the same column are not significantly different from each other (Tukey’s HSD test, ).
