Fig. 3. Effect of FCC on the blood lipid profiles, and GOT and GPT levels. After 12 weeks, triglyceride (A), total cholesterol (B), LDL-C (C), HDL-C (D), GOT (E), and GPT (F) levels were determined by enzymatic methods. ^##p < 0.01 compared with the ND group; *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.01 compared with the HFD group. Values represent mean ± SD (n = 10 per group). ND, normal diet; HFD, high-fat diet; FCC; secondary extract of the mixture of Cheonggukjang and Chaga mushroom extract fermented by L. acidophilus KCTC 3925; SV, simvastatin (10 mg/kg body weight); LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; GOT, aspartate aminotransferase; GPT, alanine aminotransferase.
