Effects of Omega-3-Rich Pork Lard on Serum Lipid Profile and Gut Microbiome in C57BL/6NJ Mice

Figure 2

Differences in serum lipid profile and liver and kidney function enzymes. The differences in the levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, BUN, creatinine, ALT, and AST are shown. Control, coconut oil, and omega lard refer to the control, coconut oil-fed, and omega lard-fed groups, respectively. All parameters were analyzed using serum samples collected at the end of the experiment (four weeks). Data are presented as . The number of mice was 8, 7, and 8 in the control, coconut oil-fed, and omega lard-fed groups, respectively. The serum level of each parameter is shown on the -axis and the groups are indicated on the -axis. Asterisks indicate significant differences between groups ().
