  1. 1Values are means ± SEM for nine rats. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001 by the Bonferroni t-test for multiple comparisons versus control group (HC). HC = hypercholesterolemic diet; HC+7S = HC diet + β-conglycinin 300 mg/kg/day; HC+FF = HC diet + fenofibrate 30 mg/kg/day; HC+RO = HC diet + rosuvastatin 10 mg/Kg/day; HC+7S+FF = HC diet + β-conglycinin + fenofibrate, 300 and 30 mg/kg/day respectively, and HC+7S+RO = HC diet + β-conglycinin + rosuvastatin, 300 and 10 mg/kg/day respectively.
