Triglyceride (TG) contents were assayed by assay kits as described in the text.
Values are mean ± SD (n = 12) and expressed in mg/dL.
The * indicates a significant difference compared with control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
The ^# indicates a significant difference compared with model group, ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001.
The ^† indicates a significant difference compared with PMR group (same dosage level, F compared with C, G compared to D, H compared to E), ^†P < 0.05, ^††P < 0.01, ^†††P < 0.001.
