Figure 5. Effects of Yabukita and Benifuuki on mRNA levels of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism in liver.
The mRNA expression levels of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism (HMGCR, HMGCS and CYP7A1) in C57/BL6J mice fed diets containing HF/HS and Yabukita 1% or Benifuuki 1% extract powders. Values are means ± SEM, n = 6. Different letters are statistically different, p < 0.05.
