Effects of 70% ethanolic extracts of yuja peel (YE) on protein expressions associated with cholesterol metabolism in liver tissue. Experimental mice were fed normal diet, high-cholesterol-diet (HC), and HC supplemented with 1% (YL) or 5% (YH) YE for 10 weeks. Three livers were randomly chosen in each group. Hepatic protein expressions of HMGCR, FAS, PPARα and actin were determined by immunoblotting (a). And relative densities of each bands were quantified (b, c, d). Results are expressed as mean ± SD. #p < 0.05 vs. HC
