Exploration of the lipid-regulating effects of Rosa roxburghii flavonoids in hyperlipidemic mice

Hyperlipidemia (HLP), an insidious threat to human health in modern society, can deteriorate and lead to various other metabolic diseases. This study focuses on transcriptomic analysis of liver samples from C57BL/6 mice, which were divided into the following groups: control group (C), hyperlipidemia model group (M), and three groups treated with flavonoids from Rosa roxburghii—quercetin at 200 mg/kg (QU), myricetin at 75 mg/kg (MY), and kaempferol at 100 mg/kg (KA). Except for the control group, all other groups were maintained on a high-fat diet for 6 weeks. To investigate the commonalities among the three flavonoid components from Rosa roxburghii, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between each treatment group and the model group were screened to identify common expression genes.
