Data was expressed as mean ± SD, n = 8 (except for ND; n = 6).

ND, Normal diet; HCD, high-cholesterol diet; R, Rosuvastatin; L, MB-2002-L 1 × 108 dead cells/rat; M, MB-2002-M 1 × 109 dead cells/rat; H, MB-2002-H 1 × 1010 dead cells/rat.

TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; BA, bile acid.

a p < 0.05, b p < 0.01, c p < 0.001, d p < 0.0001 compared with the HCD group.
