Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) contents were assayed by assay kits as described in the text.

Values were mean ± SD (n = 12) and expressed in μmol/L.

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.

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