Body weight and total plasma cholesterol levels in ND or HD mice in WT and ApoE KO mice

	ND/WT	HD/WT	ND/KO	HD/KO
Body weight (g)	25.5 ± 0.79	30.4 ± 1.21*	28.4 ± 0.40**	36.1 ± 0.93*
Plasma cholesterol (mg/dl)	118.6 ± 6.1	253.9 ± 14.0*	451.4 ± 73.3*	885.2 ± 28.4*
CBF reduction (%)	85.0 ± 1.2	83.7 ± 0.8	90.1 ± 1.7**	87.8 ± 1.7
CBF reperfusion (%)	136.1 ± 6.7	121.8 ± 4.9	122.9 ± 4.2	119.1 ± 10.7

Percentage of CBF reduction during ischemia and percentage of CBF reperfusion at 10 min show comparable ischemic severity among groups. Data are expressed as means ± SEM; n = 8–10 per group. *p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, versus ND/WT.
