Blood samples were harvested from eyepit and serum level of HDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were measured by using commercial kits (BioAssay Systems Inc, CA, USA). Total lipids were extracted from the liver and feces according to the method of Folch et al. (1957) and the level of TC and TG were measured as above. For fecal samples, the fecal samples (4 pellets of feces per mouse) in each group were collected during last 3 days period to satisfy experimental need.
