Relative expressions of hepatic lipid genes on mice cholesterol gallstone. (a)–(c) Expressing lipid gene transcriptions in 0W, 4W, and 8W (n = 6-8); (d) Expressing lipid gene transcriptions in NS and YCHD (n = 7-9). GAPDH was as normalizing control gene and all values were according to mean ± SD. “” versus 0W group; “#” versus 4W group; “&” versus NS group; “, ##, &&” ; “, ###, &&&” . W: weeks; NS: normal saline; GAPDH: glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; YCHD: Yinchenhao Decoction.
