Illicium v. suppresses adhesion molecule expression in aortas from high-fat diet-fed ApoE^−/− mice. a Protein levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin were determined by western blot analysis. b Relative abundance of protein was calculated by ratio for ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin. All data represent mean values ± SEM. ***P < 0.001 versus control; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 versus HFD
