Blood samples were collected at ZT 10. Plasma samples were prepared from male control mice and Bmal1 -/- mice fed either a regular diet (RD) or a high fat diet (HFD) for 5 weeks. Plasma lipoproteins were separated and analyzed by an on-line dual enzymatic method for simultaneous quantification of cholesterol and triglycerides by HPLC. Data represent the means ± SEM (n = 5 for each genotype). Asterisks indicate significant differences (P<0.05).
