Fig. 3. Serum profiles of mice fed heme-SCP.
Serum metabolite profiles of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice were determined on days 10 and 28 after heme-SCP administration. The levels of triglyceride (A), total cholesterol (B), and Creactive protein (C) were averaged for each group of five mice. ND represents a control group fed a normal diet. Three HFD-fed groups were supplemented with 0, 0.05, or 0.5% heme-SCP. The p-value was calculated in comparison with mice fed HFD containing 0% heme-SCP, and p-values < 0.05 indicated significant differences that were represented with asterisks.
