¹ Plasma and hepatic lipids were assessed using commercial methods described in ¹⁰. Liver triglyceride and cholesterol were expressed as mg/g liver protein. Results are means (SD).

² The low-case superscript in each column (a and b) indicated significant difference (α = 0.01) between apoB genotype (apoB^+/+ vs apoB^+/38.9) within each genetic background (BALB, C57, or SWR). The upper-case superscript in each column (A, B etc) indicated the results of multiple comparisons among means of all congenics (Duncan's multiple range test, α = 0.01).
