From: Effect of atorvastatin on the gut microbiota of high fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemic rats
Comparison of serum lipid profiles among experimental groups of rats. (A) Cholesterol level, (B) triglyceride level, (C) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level, and (D) high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level. The x-axis shows the groups, and the y-axis displays the level of mean content in mg/dl. The NCD was the reference for NCD-T and HFD, while HFD was the reference for 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg. NCD, normal chow diet; NCD-T, normal chow diet + atorvastatin treatment; HFD, high-fat diet; 5 mg/kg, HFD + 5 mg/kg atorvastatin; 10 mg/kg, HFD + 10 mg/kg atorvastatin; 15 mg/kg, HFD + 15 mg/kg atorvastatin; 20 mg/kg, HFD + 20 mg/kg atorvastatin. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001, represent the significance level between the groups.
