High Cholesterol Diet-Induced Changes in Oxysterol and Scavenger Receptor Levels in Heart Tissue

Figure 4

Effect of 2% of cholesterol diet and α-tocopherol supplementation on heart 4β-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol concentrations. Oxysterol levels were quantified by LC-MS/MS in left ventricles of heart tissue. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. and 0.01 and versus the control group; versus the cholesterol group ().
