Deciphering Molecular Mechanism Underlying Hypolipidemic Activity of Echinocystic Acid

Figure 4

Effect of echinocystic acid (EA) on HMG-CoA reductase activity in rat liver microsomes. Pravastatin was used as a positive control. The inhibitory effect of 50 μM pravastatin (pravastatin 50) or 200μM EA (EA 200) was calculated as the percentage of HMG-CoA reductase activity of control group, respectively. Data are expressed as mean ± SD ( ). * versus control group, determined by one-way ANOVA.
