Table 1. Lipid tissue distribution in wild type and SR-BI Tg mice.

Liver and intestinal mucosa divided in 3 parts were homogenized, then lipids were extracted and quantitated as described under “Experimental procedures”. Values are expressed as nmole/mg of tissue and shown as mean ± SEM, n = 4 for each group. Bile were collected and lipids analyzed as above and expressed as total nmole in collected bile. Statistical significance between wild type and SR-BI Tg mice was determined by Student’s t test.
