Improvement of serum lipids was supported by significant reductions of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( Chlorella -@ % ; placebo @ % ; P = @ ) , apolipoprotein B ( Chlorella -@ % ; placebo @ % ; P = @ ) , non high-density lipoprotein ( Chlorella -@ % ; placebo -@ % ; P = @ ) , and high-density lipoprotein/triglycerides ( Chlorella @ % ; placebo -@ % ; P = @ ) , suggesting an inhibitory effect of Chlorella on the intestinal absorption of dietary and endogenous lipids .
