Figure 8. Atherosclerosis Development In Diet-Fed Transgenic Mice.

Figure 8

Mice were fed an atherogenic diet for 12 wk after which the aortas of DKO, squares; WT-DKO, circles; FIN-DKO, diamonds; and WT FIN-DKO, triangles were analyzed for their cholesterol total content as described in “Materials and Methods”. The cholesterol content in each aorta is expressed as µg cholesterol/ mg protein. Male and female mice were averaged together since no statistically significant difference seen among any of the genotypes with respect to gender. The mean of male/ female mice were DKO = 18/17; WT DKO = 10/23; FIN-DKO = 20/19; WT FIN-DKO = 16/18, respectively. Lowercase letters indicate significant difference at ρ < 0.05. Mouse genotype abbreviations are the same as in Figure 1.
