“…In the hyperlipidemia model, the decreased levels of ALB may be closely related to the decline of liver function resulting in decreased liver production. 56 The lower level of ALB could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in the elderly and affect their prognosis. 57 ALB has a heart-shaped tertiary structure consisting of three structurally homologous helical structural domains (I–III), each of which comprises two subdomains (A and B).…”

“…The rats were randomly divided into 2 major groups (Prophylactic and Therapeutic); with a total of 10 sub-groups comprising of 6 rats each as previously described by Ameh et al [16]. Briefly, sub-groups 3-6 were administered atorvastatin, root bark, stem bark and seed biflavonoid fractions respectively for 19 days and on the 19 th day, injected with P407 (500 mg/kg b. wt) and sacrificed 48 h after (Prophylactic study) while subgroups 7-10 were administered P407 (500 mg/kg b. wt) at 48 h interval for 21 days; treatment commenced 2 h after induction (Therapeutic Study).…”
