1)NC, normal control; HFD, high-fat diet; CND, conversion of HFD to normal diet; SP, Spirulina platensis.
2)LDLC (mg/dL)=TCHO-(HDLC+TG/5).
3)HTR (%)=(HDLC)/TCHO×100.
4)Results shown are means±SD (n=8).
5)Data were statistically considered at p<0.05, and different small letters represent statistical differences.
