Effect of Gastrodin on the foam cell formation induced by ox-LDL in macrophages. A Cytotoxicity of Gastrodin at different concentrations on macrophages. B Oil red O staining of the macrophages. C Quantification of TC content in macrophages. D Effects of Gastrodin on mRNA expression levels of the genes related cholesterol influx and efflux. E Protein levels of SRB1 and ABCA1 in macrophages. All data represent the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus control group. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus ox-LDL group
