Reduced liver lipid concentrations in XN-fed ApoE^−/− mice

	WTD (n = 9)	WTD + XN (n = 9)
TC (mg/g)	7.1 ± 0.5	4.3 ± 0.1***
FC (mg/g)	4.2 ± 0.4	2.7 ± 0.2**
CE (mg/g)	3.6 ± 0.5	1.6 ± 0.2***
TG (mg/g)	12 ± 1.1	8.8 ± 0.7*

Liver lipids (fed state) from ApoE^−/− mice fed 8 weeks WTD or WTD + XN were extracted by Folch extraction and TG, TC, and FC concentrations were measured enzymatically. CE levels were calculated as CE = TC − FC.

Data represent mean values (n = 9) ±SD normalized to wet tissue weight.
