Figure 5

Effect of green tea and cocoa tea supplementations on (a) LDL-R; (b) HMG Co-A reductase; (c) CD36; and (d) PPAR-γ mRNA levels in the liver of chow-fed and high-fat-fed mice. Mice were fed diets for 8 weeks. Values represent means ± SEM (𝑛=3-4). Significant difference between N and HF mice using one-way ANOVA: *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01. Significant difference among HF and HFLG, HFHG, HFLC, and HFHC mice using one-way ANOVA: ^#𝑃<0.05, ^##𝑃<0.01.
