Opuntia cladode powders inhibit adipogenesis in 3 T3-F442A adipocytes and a high-fat-diet rat model by modifying metabolic parameters and favouring faecal fat excretion

Table 4 Serum hepatic markers

Marker	SD	F	F-OSC	F-OFI
AST (U/L)	32.6 ± 2.42	30.3 ± 1.78	35.0 ± 3.26	37.0 ± 4.61
ALT(U/L)	78.3 ± 3.91	64.6 ± 1.99	78.2 ± 6.45	72.8 ± 4.49
MCP-1 (pg/mL)	817 ± 49.2	881 ± 37.9	803 ± 53.8	877 ± 31.5

SD = standard diet; F = high fat diet; F-OSC =Opuntia streptacantha cladode powder; F-OFI = Opuntia ficus-indica cladode powder. AST = aspartate aminotransferase. ALT = alanine aminotransferase. MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein 1. Results are mean of 10 animals ± SEM. No significant difference were observed.
