Cholesterol concentrations as dependent variables in the adult liver and fetal tissues
| Tissue | Slope | SE | P value vs. 0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult liver | 1.11 | 1.84 | 0.555 |
| Fetal liver | 1.29 | 0.20 | <0.001 |
| Fetal body | 0.54 | 0.27 | 0.063 |
| Placenta | 1.28 | 0.39 | 0.007 |
| Yolk sac | 4.38 | 0.73 | <0.001 |
Slopes were determined using values obtained in the livers of non-pregnant females fed 0, 0.05, and 0.10% cholesterol or in tissues of pregnant dams fed 0, 0.12, and 0.5% cholesterol.
