Data are presented as the means ± standard deviation. A, control group; B, model group; C, quercetin group; D, atorvastatin group. As compared with the control group:
a
P<0.01,
b
P<0.001; as compared with the model group:
c
P<0.05,
d
P<0.01 and
e
P<0.001. TC, total cholesterol; TG triglyceride; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C are shown in nmol/l; oxLDL levels are shown in µg/l.
