Figure 2

Effects of simvastatin and BBR on LDLR, SREBP-2 and HNF1 mRNA expression in the liver tissues at 6 weeks assessed by RT-PCR. Data were normalized to the GAPDH mRNA levels and then compared to control group or HFD group measurements. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3. *P < 0.05, HFD vs Con; #P < 0.05, HFD + Sim or HFD + BBR vs HFD. Con = control; HFD = high fat diet; HFD + BBR = HFD + berberine; HFD + Sim = HFD + simvastatin; LDLR = low density lipoprotein receptor; SREBP-2 = sterol regulatory element binding protein-2; HNF1 = Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1; RT-PCR = Real time quantitative reverse polymerase chain reaction.
