Protective Effect of Shenqi Maixintong Capsule against ox-LDL-Induced Injury in RAW264.7 Macrophages

Figure 3

SMC of low, intermediated, and high dose and lipid accumulation in RAW264.7 cells induced by ox-LDL. Oil Red O staining of RAW264.7 cells was carried out, RAW264.7 cells were treated with SMC and ox-LDL, and the lipid accumulation was measured by Oil Red O staining. The bar graph shows the percentage of Oil Red O staining in different groups. There was significant difference between control and ox-LDL groups (). Lipid droplets in the ox-LDL + SMC groups were significantly less than those in the ox-LDL group, and the p value of the ox-LDL + intermediated group was less significant than that of the ox-LDL group (). Original magnification: 400x. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. , , and . ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; SMC, Shenqi Maixintong capsule; low, low dose of SMC; intermediated, intermediated dose of SMC; high, high dose of SMC.
