The intake of high fat diet with different trans fatty acid levels differentially induces oxidative stress and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in rats

Table 2 Body weight gain, food intake, water intake and feed efficiency of rats fed with fresh soybean oil (FSO) oxidized soybean oil (OSO) and margarine (MG).

Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 12 rats per group). Control group: C; Fresh soybean-oil fed group: FSO; oxidized soybean oil-fed group: OSO; margarine-fed group: MG. Comparison between groups was made using Duncan's test. Different parameters values followed by different subscript letters (a, b and c) are significantly different between groups. (p < 0.05).
