TABLE 1.

Plasma cholesterol levels, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity, hematocrit, and spleen weight of mice fed a chow diet

Values were determined in overnight fasted age-matched mice fed a chow diet. Data represent mean ± S.D. Spleen mass was expressed per g of body weight. Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity is expressed as nanomol of CE transferred/h/ml.
