Beneficial effects of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) supplementation on metabolic and inflammatory adverse effects induced by high-fat diet in a mouse model of obesity
Fig 6
Cholesterol (A) and triglyceride (B) levels of mice at the end of the study.
Animals received low-fat diet (LF diet, 10% energy from fat, grey columns), high-fat diet (HF diet, 46% energy from fat, black columns) or high-fat diet supplemented with lingonberry (HF + LGB diet, white columns). At the end of the study, blood samples were collected after 6 h fasting and serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were analyzed with fluorometric assays. The values are presented as mmol/L. Values represent mean + SEM, n = 10 mice per group. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test was used in the statistical analysis. Differences between the groups are marked with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ns = not significant.
