Cholesterol and triglyceride content in the liver from ethanol-fed mice.

	Control	Ethanol	E + 0.5%AME	E + 1%AME	E + 2%AME
TG (g/g protein)	63.60 ± 16.12	104.98 ± 34.71 ^b	98.57 ± 21.85	61.44 ± 10.09^c	58.55 ± 6.94^c
CHO (g/g protein)	51.09 ± 20.00	106.50 ± 31.00 ^b	38.57 ± 9.64	23.92 ± 13.31^c	19.28 ± 7.20^c

Control, normal diet group; E, ethanol diet group (the positive control); E + 0.5%AME, the ethanol diet containing 0.5% AME group; E + 1.0%AME, the ethanol diet containing 1% AME group; E + 2.0%AME, the ethanol diet containing 2% AME group. Each value was expressed as the mean ± S.D (8/group). a and b,  < 0.05 and 0.01 compared to the normal group, respectively. c and d,  < 0.05 and 0.01 compared to the ethanol diet group (the positive control), respectively.
