NRC normal control group, NC negative control group administered with a diet containing 3% ethanol, HDE administered with the diet containing 3% ethanol and 0.3% HDE, FHDE1 and FHDE3 administered with the diet containing 0.1 and 0.3% FHDE, respectively in the diet containing 3% alcohol. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of triplicate experiments. Values with different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05)
