Figure 3.

Fold change in expression of seven genes after 8-week RJ or placebo supplementation relative to baseline. Genes of oxidative stress and cholesterol metabolism pathways are reported, comparing RJ versus placebo: SOD: Superoxide Dismutase; CAT: Catalase; GPx: Glutathione Peroxidase; GR: Glutathione Reductase; LDL receptor; HMGCoA R: Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase; HMgCoA S: Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase.∗ p-value denotes significant (p<0.05) difference between both groups (royal jelly vs. placebo).
