Figure 4

The effects of berberine on 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), Lipoprotein receptors and apolipoproteins gene expression. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of LDLR, HMGR and SR (A) and apolipoproteins (B) in the livers of SD rats administrated with berberine or vehicle (n = 8 per group). Relative mRNA amounts of each gene were normalized to that of beta-actin. Values are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05vs N; #p < 0.05 vs C.
