The expression of key genes involved in cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism as measured by RT-PCR. Data represents fold change ± standard deviation of TCPOBOP treated versus vehicle treated on standard diet, cholesterol diet, and vehicle treated group on cholesterol diet versus standard diet. Six animals per group were analyzed and statistical significance was determined using Student t-test. Unigene symbols are used as abbreviations. *p < 0.05.
