Relative levels of hepatic mRNA expression of Apo A1 gene in hypercholesterolemic hamsters. Animals were fed a high fat diet for 4 weeks, followed by high fat diet plus BaP for 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days, respectively. Values were calculated as mean of threshold cycle values; N = 8 animals per group (N = 5 for T0 group). Each mRNA was normalized with GAPDH and is expressed as a fold change. Abbreviations: Apolipoprotein A1, ApoA1; Biologically active fraction of ProAlgaZyme, BaP; glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, GAPDH.
