(C) Dynamic alteration of body weight. (D) Body weight gain. (E) Daily food intake. (F) Plasma triglycerides (TG) level. (G) Plasma glycerol level. (H) Plasma free fatty acids (FFA) level. (I) Plasma total cholesterol level. (J) Plasma high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level. (K) plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level. All values are denoted as means ± SD. The values with different superscripts are significantly different at p < 0.05. # Comparisons with normal diet (ND) group; * Comparisons with high-fat diet (HFCD) group. All groups contain 12 animals ( n = 12). "
