Plasma lipids. The plasma concentrations of cholesterol (A), triglyceride (B), and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) (C) were analyzed with commercially available colorimetric kits in mice maintained on low-fat control chow (LF), diet enriched in saturated fat (SFA) or each diet supplemented with nutraceutical garlic extract-aged (+GEA), alpha-lipoic acid (+ALA), niacin (+Niacin) or nicotinamide (+NA) for nine months. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was used to analyze the statistical significance at P <0.05. (a) Significant difference between LF and SFA; (b) Significant difference between LF and each nutraceutical treatment; and (c) Significant difference between SFA and each nutraceutical treatment.
