Influence of scavenger receptors on intestinal cholesterol absorption in mice fed a basal diet^a

	24 h Absorption Efficiency (%)	4 h Intestinal Content (% Initial Dose)	% Initial Dose in 100 μl Plasma at 4 h	% Initial Dose in 100 mg Liver at 4 h
Mouse Genotype	(n = 7/group)	(n = 8/group)	(n = 8/group)	(n = 8/group)
WT	70 ± 11	40 ± 7	0.13 ± 0.06	0.92 ± 0.14
SR-BI−/−	66 ± 14	40 ± 6	0.18 ± 0.09	0.88 ± 0.53
CD36−/−	65 ± 8	31 ± 11	0.08 ± 0.04	0.43 ± 0.22
SR-BI−/−/CD36−/−	67 ± 13	34 ± 12	0.18 ± 0.10	0.67 ± 0.48

All values are mean ± SD. No significant differences between mouse genotypes were evident by ANOVA.

^aThe mice weighed 26.4 ± 2.8 g and were aged 3–5 months.
