LDLr^−/− (3)	104.0 ± 42.7^a	20.3 ± 6.9	113.6 ± 35.6^a
LDLr^−/−/Apo A–I^−/− (2)	23.8 ± 12.3^b	11.2 ± 3.8	12.5 ± 6.4^b
Diet-Fed
LDLr^−/− (3)	97.9 ± 25.9^a	12.5 ± 4.8	85.4 ± 21.4^a

Adrenal total and free cholesterol were determined by GLC as described in Experimental Procedures. All values represent mean ± SD of cholesterol mass per total adrenal as determined in (n) female mice. Lowercase letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05.
