Effect of mifepristone (MIF) on serum HDL sterol efflux capacity. Serum HDL sterol efflux capacity was significantly decreased by mifepristone treatment (A) (*, P = 0.002, treatment d 1 vs. d 43). Relative change of sterol efflux induced by mifepristone treatment was not correlated with relative decrease of HDL-C (r = 0.029; P = 0.902 (B), but significantly correlated with relative decrease of ApoA-I (r = 0.588; P = 0.027) (C) and HDL particles (r = 0.562; P = 0.036) (D). Relative changes were calculated for each subject as a change of the variable from d 1 to 43 divided by value at d 1 [(d43 − d1)/d1]. Bars represent median with interquartile range.
