Fluorescence intensity (means ± SE, n = 7) for genes involved in lipid and FA transport, lipases, and FA binding proteins from 6 h to 42 days of lactation. P values for repeated measures after H-B FDR multiple testing corrections revealed an overall increase (P < 0.01) in mRNA of thrombospondin receptor (CD36), scavenger receptor class B #1 (SCARB1 or HDL receptor), solute carrier family 27 #5 (SLC27A5), very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hormone-sensitive lipase E (LIPE), endothelial lipase G (LIPG), FA binding protein-3 (FABP3), and diazepam binding inhibitor (acyl-CoA binding protein, DBI). LDL receptor (LDLR) increased only to 1.3-fold (P < 0.05) by day 42.
