Effect of Continuous Feeding of Ayu-Narezushi on Lipid Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Metabolic Syndrome

Figure 3

Comparison of serum concentrations of triglycerides (a) and cholesterol (b) at 8 and 24 weeks of age in TSOD mice fed the ayu-narezushi-containing or the control chow. Serum triglyceride levels are significantly lower at 24 weeks of age in the ayu-narezushi group (n = 5, white column) compared with the control group (n = 5, black column) (a). Serum cholesterol levels are significantly lower at 24 weeks of age in the ayu-narezushi group (n = 5, white column) than the control group (n = 5, black column) (b). The serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels are comparable between the two groups at 8 weeks of age. Variables are expressed as means ± standard deviation. Means were compared using Student’s t test.  < 0.05.
