Effect of Atorvastatin on neutral lipid pattern in hyperlipidemic yeast cells. An equal amount of yeast cells (A600nm = 0.1 OD) were treated with 0.5 mM of oleic acid and with different concentrations (1–5 mM) of Atorvastatin (standard anti-hyperlipidemic drug) and the cells were grown in YPD media for 16 h at 30 °C. Equal amount of cells were taken, and the lipids were extracted, and the neutral lipids separated and identified as described in Fig. 1. Values are the mean ± SD of three separate experiments, each performed in triplicate. Values are the mean ± SD of three separate experiments, each performed in triplicate. Control cells were compared with treated groups. Values are statistically significant at **p < 0.01
