High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) contents were assayed by assay kits as described in the text.

Values were mean ± SD (n = 12) and expressed in mg/dL.

The * indicates a significant difference compared with control group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.

The ^# indicates a significant difference compared with model group, ^# P < 0.05, ^## P < 0.01, ^### P < 0.001.

The ^† indicates a significant difference compared with PMR group (same dosage level, F compared with C, G compared to D, H compared to E), ^† P < 0.05, ^††† P < 0.001.
