Cardiovascular Protective Effects of Salvianic Acid A on db/db Mice with Elevated Homocysteine Level

Figure 3

Serum homocysteine (Hcy) level at the end of the experiment. Both DM (methionine) and DM (methionine + SAA) groups exhibit higher Hcy level when compared to the DM (control) group. Besides, the Hcy level in the DM (methionine + SAA) group was significantly reduced to a level lower than that in the DM (methionine) group, probably due to the Hcy-lowering effect induced by the SAA treatment for 8 wks.
