Female ApoF wild type (WT), heterozygous (Het), and knockout (KO) mice were bled for baseline lipid measurements and placed on a diet containing 45% kcal from fat for 9 weeks. Plasma was then collected after 2, 4, and 9 weeks on the diet. All mice were fasted 4 hours before bleeding at every time point. Values are reported as the mean +/− standard deviation for each group (WT n = 8, Het n = 10, KO n = 8).

Two Way ANOVA Results:

Cholesterol: Time p<0.0001.

HDL-C: Time p<0.0001.

Non HDL-C: Time p<0.0001.

Triglycerides: Time n.s.,Genotype p = 0.0025 (Bonferroni vs WT: * p<0.05, ** p<0.01).

CE: Interaction p = 0.0428, Time p<0.0001.

Free Chol: Time p<0.0001, Genotype p = 0.0003 (Bonferroni WT vs KO *p<0.05).
