Figure 1. Plasma and hepatic lipid levels increase in response to atherogenic diet administration.

(A) Plasma total cholesterol levels, (B) liver total cholesterol levels, and (C) liver triglyceride levels were significantly higher in mice administered the atherogenic diet for 4 weeks compared to mice administered the STD diet (STD diet: n = 6–10, atherogenic diet: n = 13–22). *P<0.05 vs. STD diet group.
