Fig. 2From: Expression of the circular RNAs in astaxanthin promotes cholesterol efflux from THP-1 cells based on RNA-seqThe 13 circRNAs are differentially expressed in the process of AST promoting cholesterol efflux from macrophages. The expression of the first nine circRNAs was significantly upregulated, and the expression of the next four circRNAs was significantly downregulated. These trends were consistent with RNA-seq results. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD and were analyzed by Student’s t test. *P < 0.05 vs. control. **P < 0.01 vs. controlBack to article page
