Median liver enzyme activity % change from baseline during the observation period in the three Groups. Control Group: atherogenic diet, Group ME: atherogenic diet plus ME, Group CHE: atherogenic diet plus CHE
^a Significant difference for p < 0.05, compared to Control Group
^b Significant difference for p < 0.05, compared to Group ME
Overall Sig: Overall significance, NS: Non-significant
