Hepatic expressions of the key cholesterol transporters or enzymes in RCT. mRNA expressions of hepatic cholesterol transporters or enzymes were measured by real-time PCR (n = 6) a. Values are indicated as relative expression changes compared with respective control. Hepatic protein expressions were measured by Western blots b–e. Peritoneal macrophages were also measured by Western blot f–g. Western blot results were shown on upper panels and their quantifications were shown on down panels. Values were indicated as mean ± S.D. (n = 5 for CYP7A1 and ABCG5, n = 3 for others). Significantly different from the CS group: **p < 0.01
