Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) contents were assayed by assay kits as described in the text.
Values were mean ± SD (n = 12) and expressed in μmol/L.
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.
The ^† indicates a significant difference compared with PMR group (same dosage level, F compared with C, G compared to D), ^†P < 0.05, ^†††P < 0.001.
