Fig. 5.
Hepatic triglyceride (TG) levels for wild type and Bcmo1-deficient (Bcmo1−/−) mice fed either a control purified diet containing 20% fat and no β-carotene (high fat diet) or the same diet containing 100 μg β-carotene/g diet (β-carotene diet). Values are given as the mean ± 1 S.D. for 5 mice in each group. The “**” indicates statistically different (p < 0.01) compared to wild type mice receiving the same diet.
