Lipoproteins were isolated from one milliliter of pooled mouse plasma by KBr density gradient ultracentrifugation as follows: VLDL d<1.006, IDL/LDL 1.006<d<1.063, HDL 1.063<d<1.21 g/mL. Concentrations for each lipid are given as the percentage of total mass in the fraction. Values are reported as the mean +/− standard deviation of three separate isolations (n = 3), with each value representing a separate and distinct pool of at least four mice per genotype.
