PL: phospholipids; CH: cholesterol. Data are presented as the (). Values in the same line with different superscripts are significantly different (P <0.05).AB means significant difference between phospholipid levels within the same cholesterol level (P <0.05). ab indicates significant difference between cholesterol levels within the same phospholipid level (P <0.05).
