  1. HSI = (liver weight/body weight × 100); STD = standard diet, AIN-93 Composition; HC = hypercholesterolemic diet: AIN-93 plus 1 g/100 g cholesterol and 0.5 g/100 g cholic acid; HC+11S = HC diet + glycinin (300 mg/kg/day); HC+ROS = HC diet + rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg/day); HC+11S+ROS = HC diet + glycinin (300 mg/kg/day) and rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg/day). Values represented as mean ± SEM. Different superscript letters in the same row indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05) between experimental groups.
