Supplementation with the Extract of Schisandrae Fructus Pulp, Seed, or Their Combination Influences the Metabolism of Lipids and Glucose in Mice Fed with Normal and Hypercholesterolemic Diet

Figure 3

Effects of EtSF supplementation on biliary and fecal cholesterol contents in normal and HCL mice. Experimental details were described in Table 1. Mice were fed with ND and HCLD without or with EtSF or FF supplementation, as indicated in the figure. Ten days later, biliary (a) and fecal (b) TC contents were measured. Values given are the means ± SEM, with 𝑛=10. ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus mice fed with ND and ^†𝑃<0.05, ^††𝑃<0.01 versus mice fed with HCLD alone. Statistically significant differences were determined using a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test or post hoc analysis.
