Relative spleen, liver weights and cholesterol levels. (A) Relative spleen and liver weights after 12-weeks of regular chow or HFC diet in Ldlr−/− mice with and without HP-B-CD treatment; and (B) Cholesterol levels were analyzed in liver as well as plasma of Ldlr−/− mice after 12 weeks of regular chow or HFC diet. TC: total cholesterol. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 10 for the chow-fed mice; n = 12 for the mice fed an HFC diet without treatment; n = 12 for the HFC-fed mice receiving HP-B-CD treatment). * Significantly different from chow. * and *** indicate p < 0.05, and 0.001, respectively.
