Lipid profile in Ldlr^−/− mice with or without hypercholesterolemic diet and angiotensin II treatment.

	Normal Diet (n = 7)	High-Cholesterol Diet (n = 7)	High-Cholesterol Diet + Angiotensin II Treatment (n = 2–5)
Plasma cholesterol (mmol/L)	13.96 ± 1.38	11.09 ± 2.03	23.4 ± 1.4
Plasma triglycerids (mmol/L)	4.58 ± 0.83	0.99 ± 0.1 *	2.27 ± 1.07
Plasma HDLc (mmol/L)	1.06 ± 0.18	0.39 ± 0.08	0.94 ± 0.37
Plasma LDLc (mmol/L)	6.82 ± 1.29	10.24 ± 1.97	23.4 ± 1.041 *
LDLc/HDLc Ratio	9.1 ± 3.16	29.84 ± 5.18	80.69 ± 32.76
Total cholesterol/HDLc	15.72 ± 2.679	32.43 ± 5.425	117 ± 7

Legend: Data are given as the mean ± SEM. Kruskal–Wallis tests with Dunn correction were used (* p < 0.05 compared to Ldlr^−/− mice fed with a normal diet). HDLc: circulating high-density lipoprotein; LDLc: circulating low-density lipoprotein.
