Values are of 6 determinants, . Along the columns, values with the same letter (a, b) are not significantly different (). D1: control (washed without chemicals); D2: processed with lime-C; D3: processed with alum-C; D4: processed with salt-C; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; VLDL: very low-density lipoprotein; CHD: coronary heart diseases.
