Protective effects of two Lactobacillus plantarum strains in hyperlipidemic mice

Figure 2 Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum SC4 or Lactobacillus plantarum CAI6 on liver and kidney nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 expression in mice fed high-cholesterol diet. Results were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^aP < 0.05 vs normal diet (NM) group, ^bP < 0.01 vs NM group, ^dP < 0.01 vs high-cholesterol diet (HM) group. NM/CAI6: Normal diet with Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) CAI6 group; NM/SC4: Normal diet with L. plantarum SC4 group; HM/CAI6: High-cholesterol diet with L. plantarum CAI6 group; HM/SC4: High-cholesterol diet with L. plantarum SC4 group; NM: Normal diet group; HM: High-cholesterol diet group.
