“In contrast, concomitant ingestion of 5 g Chlorella significantly suppressed the increases of TC (9.8 % versus 3.5 %; P = 0.037 for interaction) and LDL-C (14.3 % versus 1.7 %; P = 0.012 for interaction), but accelerated the increase of HDL-C (3.8 % versus 8.3 %), a finding that lacked statistical significance (Table 3, upper part).”
