Black and Yellow Soybean Consumption Prevents High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity by Regulating Lipid Metabolism in C57BL/6 Mice

Table 3

Blood biomarker profiles in C57BL/6 mice fed with a high-fat diet mixed with yellow or black soybean powders.

Group	ND	HFD	YS	BS
AST (IU/L)	6.60 ± 1.78^b	8.72 ± 1.11^a	7.38 ± 2.29^ab	6.54 ± 0.81^b
ALT (IU/L)	11.70 ± 3.21^b	15.48 ± 2.91^a	8.79 ± 1.34^b	8.64 ± 2.22^b
TG (mg/dL)	84.0 ± 5.03^c	178.9 ± 2.85^a	113.8 ± 9.31^b	122.4 ± 13.46^b

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 8). ^(a–c)The values with different lowercase letters in the same column represent significant differences by Tukey’s post-hoc test ( < 0.05). ND: normal diet (13% kcal from fat); HFD: high-fat diet (60% kcal from fat); YS: high-fat diet mixed with yellow soybean powder; BS: high-fat diet mixed with black soybean powder.
