Plasma cholesterol (a), triglyceride (b) and (c) phospholipid levels (in mg/dl) of rabbits of negative control group (neg. control), as well as groups I, II, III, and IV. Black arrows indicate the CEDrs point. Data are expressed as means + SEM; *p < 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001 vs. group I (6 weeks CED, [6w]); ^#p ≤ 0.05, ^##p ≤ 0.01, ^###p ≤ 0.001 vs group II at the corresponding time point; ^§p ≤ 0.05, ^§§p ≤ 0.01, ^§§§p ≤ 0.001 vs 78 weeks (78w); n = 5–8
