The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC): model group (high-fat diet + intragastric distilled water for 56, days); normal control group (standard diet + intra-gastric distilled water for 56, days), rosiglitazone group (rosi-group: high-fat diet + intra-gastric rosiglitazone, 0.5mg/kg/day for 56, days); and Schisandra chinensis Baill group, (schi-group: high-fat diet + intragastric Schisandra chinensis Baill, 100mg/kg/day for 56, days). Data were shown as mean ± SD. (n=6 in each group). The significant difference was set at ^a P<0.05, compared with model group; ^b p <0.05, compared with normal control group; ^c P<0.05, compared with rosiglitazone group.
