p values are calculated with the independent sample t-test; TC total cholesterol
^aAll data reported as mean ± SD; ^bsignificant difference between male and female offspring in the LF-HCD group (p ≤ 0.01); ^csignificant difference between male and female offspring in the HF-LCD group (p ≤ 0.01)
^*significant differences between LF-HCD and HF-LCD group
