Body weights, liver weights, and biochemical indicators in the serum. Body weights were measured twice per week until day 21 (a). Liver weights were measured immediately after the mice were sacrificed; the liver weight/body weight ratio of each mouse is presented (b). The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (c), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (d), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (e), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triglyceride (g), and total cholesterol (h), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (i), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (j) levels were measured. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test were conducted. Different superscripts within groups indicate significant differences at p < 0.05
