Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of magnesium biotinate (MgB) and inositol-stabilized arginine silicate (ASI) on liver Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1, a ), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR, b ), cholesterol 7-alpha-monooxygenase (CYP7A1, c ), acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2, d ), and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP, e ) levels in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed rats ( n = 8). Data show the relative intensity of the western blot bands expressed as a percent of the control set at 100%. β-actin normalization was used to ensure equal protein loading. Representative blots are shown in each panel. The error bars above the lines point out the standard deviation of the mean. Different symbols (a–d) indicate statistical differences among the groups ( P < 0.05; ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test)
