Table 2

Plasma triglycerides, glucose, total cholesterol, AST, ALT, and hepatic triglyceride in male C57BL/6J-DIO mice fed HFD, HFD with EPA, HFD with 8-HEPE, LFD, LFD with EPA, or LFD with 8-HEPE for 4 wk. Values are means ± SDs, . Labeled means without a common letter differ; . HFD: high-fat diet; LFD: low-fat diet; HEPE: hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid; EPA: eicosapentaenoic acid.
