Shuangyu Tiaozhi Granule Attenuates Hypercholesterolemia through the Reduction of Cholesterol Synthesis in Rat Fed a High Cholesterol Diet

Figure 1

Effect of STG on body weight and liver weight ratio in rat fed a HC diet. (a) Body weight was measured every two weeks during 12 weeks of general or HC diet supplemented with or without STG or simvastatin. (b) Comparison of liver weight ratio after STG or simvastatin treatment for 8 weeks. Liver weight ratio is equal to liver wet weight/body weight × 100%. P < 0.05, P < 0.01 versus control group; P < 0.05, P < 0.01 versus HC group. (c) Photograph of liver tissues from rats treated by STG or simvastatin for 8 weeks. All data was shown as mean ± SD (n = 6 to 10).
