Atorvastatin Improves Hepatic Lipid Metabolism and Protects Renal Damage in Adenine-Induced Chronic Kidney Disease in Sprague-Dawley Rats

Figure 3

Effects of atorvastatin on enzymatic activity of lipase in various tissues and serum of adenine-induced CKD rats. Lipase enzymatic activity in (a) liver, (b) skeletal muscle, (c) heart, (d) adipose tissue, and (e) serum of rats treated for 24 days either with normal diet (control) or adenine-supplemented diet (CKD) alone or with atorvastatin (CKD + ATV). Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of 5–6 rats. Significant difference from control: . Significant difference from CKD: .
