Table 1 Body weight, liver weight, food intake and fecal excretion of mice fed the high-fat diet alone (HF) or the high-fat diet supplemented with milk phospholipids (HFPL) in the form of phospholipid-rich dairy milk extract (PLRDME)

From: Hepatic accumulation of intestinal cholesterol is decreased and fecal cholesterol excretion is increased in mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with milk phospholipids
