AST inhibited foaming of macrophages and promoted cholesterol efflux. Oil red O staining showed that compared with the control group (A), the red area in the cells of the treat group (B) was significantly reduced after AST treatment. qRT-PCR (C) and western blot (D–F) experiments to detect the effects of different concentrations of AST on the expression of ABCA1, ABCG1, and SR-BI genes and protein levels after intervention. *P < 0.05 vs. control. **P < 0.01 vs. control. ***P < 0.001 vs. control. ****P < 0.0001 vs. control
