After 8-week administration of VitB6 in Apoe−/− mice fed with high-fat diet, serum sugar levels and lipid levels were determined. WT: wild-type; ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; HDL: high density lipoprotein; LDL: low density lipoprotein. All data were expressed as mean ± SEM. is 10–15 in each group. versus Apoe−/− mice fed with HFD.
