Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Means in the same column with different superscript letters significantly differ ().
²C, control; CF25, control with 25% fish oil substituted for olive oil; CF57, control with 57% fish oil substituted for olive oil; E, ethanol; EF25, ethanol with 25% fish oil substituted for olive oil; EF57, ethanol with 57% fish oil substituted for olive oil.
³Relative liver weight: (liver weight/body weight) × 100%.
