Figure 1From: Enhanced circulating PCSK9 concentration by berberine through SREBP-2 pathway in high fat diet-fed rats Effects of simvastatin and berberine on plasma PCSK9 concentration in rats at 6 weeks assessed by ELISA. Values are mean ± SD, n = 8. *P < 0.05, HFD vs Con; #P < 0.05, HFD + BBR or HFD + Sim vs HFD. Con = control; HFD = high fat diet; HFD + BBR = HFD + berberine; HFD + Sim = HFD + simvastatin.Back to article page
