Fig. 3From: Conjugated and free sterols from black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seed coats as cholesterol micelle disruptors and their effect on lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport in rat primary hepatocytesEffect of phytosterols of black bean seed coats on the expression of ABCG5 (transport protein responsible for biliary excretion of sterols in the liver). It is presented the a relative expression and b protein expression of ABCG5 in primary hepatocytes treated with control or CN = no stimulus, T = the synthetic LXR agonist T0901317, Ph = extract rich in phytosterols associated with black bean seed coat at a dose of 76.13 μg/L. T + Ph = T0901317 and the extract rich in phytosterols associated with black bean seed coat at the same dose (76.13 μg/L). Every experiment was performed in triplicate (n = 3). Data are presented in mean ± SE. Bars with different letter indicate statistically significant difference, P < 0.05Back to article page
