  1. Values are means ± SD of 4 independent determinations (animals). After a one-way ANOVA, Student–Newman–Keuls (SNK) multiple comparison test results are arranged in increasing order from left to right: a > b > c (p < 0.05). C, control; HF, high fat; HFOA, high fat + O. aurita. N.S: Not significant.
