FIG 2.

Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 (L.4356) decreases the concentration of non-HDL-cholesterol-containing lipoproteins in ApoE^−/− mice. ApoE^−/− mice were treated with or without L.4356 for 16 weeks. (A) Plasma cholesterol concentrations in the control and L. acidophilus ATCC 4356-treated mice. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 10 for each group). *, P < 0.05 versus controls. (B) Plasma lipoproteins were separated by fast protein liquid chromatography and were measured in the collected fractions.
