At the end of experiment after for week, collected blood serum samples were analyzed for liver enzymes , serum glucose, lipid profile, and immunoglobulins. The data collected displayed that HFD caused significant increases in BWG, FI, FER, T.C, T.G, LDLc, VLDLc, liver enzymes, serum glucose, and immunoglobulins, while consumption of -- red pitaya, matcha tea, Spirulina algae and mixture showed a significantly reduced the serum HDLc.
