High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) contents were assayed by assay kits as described in the text.
Values were 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 < 0.001.
