Total serum cholesterol concentrations and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations are markedly increased in SUCR-fed compared to TAG and CONTROL LDLr−/− mice. Total serum cholesterol concentrations are increased in (a) male and (b) female SUCR-fed mice compared to TAG and CONTROL. (a) Male and (b) female TAG-fed mice exhibit increased total serum cholesterol concentrations compared to CONTROL. Lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in (c) male and (d) female mice demonstrate a marked increase in VLDL/LDL cholesterol in SUCR-compared to TAG and CONTROL. However, VLDL and LDL cholesterol concentrations were increased in (c) male and (d) female TAG-fed mice compared to CONTROL. Data are mean ± s.e.m. from N = 5–6 mice/gender/diet group. *, Denotes significantly different from TAG and CONTROL; †, denotes significantly different from CONTROL, P < 0.05. HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LDLr−/−, LDL receptor deficient; VLDL, very LDL.
