Effects of RORα overexpression on intracellular cholesterol contents in macrophages. RAW264.7 cells were transfected with empty vector (pSG5) or RORα expression vector (pRORα), and cultured with 10 μg/mL of ox-LDL for the formation of macrophage foam cells. Cells were extracted and measured intracellular cholesterol content. Data are represented as means ± standard errors (n = 3). *, p < 0.05. Ox-LDL, oxidized low density lipoprotein
