Fig. 3 — Comparison of the lipid-lowering efficacies of simvastatin and red yeast rice; a & b Comparison of lipid levels at week 4 and baseline in the simvastatin and red yeast rice groups (mean ± SD). No significant changes in TG or HDL levels were observed in either arm; c Comparison of the percentage changes in the lipid (TC and LDL) levels from baseline to week 4 (mean ± SD). The decrease in both the TC and LDL levels were comparable between the two groups.* TC levels, P < .001 vs. baseline in simvastatin group. ** LDL levels, P < .001 vs. baseline in simvastatin group. # TC levels, P < .001 vs. baseline in red yeast rice group. ## LDL levels, P < .001 vs. baseline in red yeast rice group
