FXR deficiency in ob/ob mice results in the accumulation of plasma triglycerides. A and B: Lipid parameters were measured in plasma of 12-week-old FXR+/+ob/ob (white bars or circles) and FXR−/−ob/ob mice (black bars or circles) (n = 9 to 10/group). C: Lipoprotein profiles were determined in plasma pools of 13-week-old mice. D: VLDL production was assessed in 13-week-old female mice (n = 8–10/group) by measuring plasma triglyceride concentrations subsequent to Tyloxapol injection. E: Gene expression was measured by QPCR in livers of 20-week-old mice (n = 9 to 10/group). Values are means ± SEM. Differences between genotypes were calculated by Mann-Whitney test (***P < 0.001). FFA, free fatty acid; OD, optical density; TG, triglyceride.
