Effects of dietary supplements on the serum levels of LDL-cholesterol of 5-week-old female chickens. Chickens were fed for 4 weeks. The diets of groups 8 - 12 were supplemented with δ-tocotrienol (50 ppm). Data expressed as means ± SD, n = 6 chickens per group. The results were reported in SI units (mmo/L). The value for the control group was the average of 3 control groups. Values in columns not sharing a common symbol were significantly different at P < 0.05. For each figure, 'A' shows the raw values for each of the treatments and control, and 'B' shows the percent change compared to control. The groups 1 - 12 correspond to: 1. control diet; 2; δ-tocotrienol (δ-T3); 3. quercetin; 4. riboflavin; 5. (-) Corey lactone; 6. amiloride; 7. dexamethasone; 8. δ-T3 + quercetin; 9. δ-T3 + riboflavin; 10. δ-T3 + (-) Corey lactone; 11. δ-T3 + amiloride; 12. δ-T3 + dexamethasone.
