Figure 3. Bilirubin therapy alters cholesterol and adipokine levels in DIO mice at 14 days post treatment.

Serum levels of TC (a), LDL (b), HDL (c), TG (d), leptin (e), adiponectin (f), total bilirubin (g), and direct bilirubin (h) in DIO + BR, DIO + V, or CHOW mice were measured in serum immediately after completing bilirubin treatment. Each group contained 3-4 mice; Data are mean ± standard deviation; ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, and *p < 0.05, Student’s t test.
