Hepatic lipid content in ASO-treated mice of the indicated genotype

TG TC FC CE PL FFA
WT-C-ASO 86.6 ± 8.3a 93.3 ± 12.3a 26.2 ± 3.3a 67.0 ± 11.7ac 65.9 ± 6.9a 49.0 ± 11.1a
WT-M-ASO 133.1 ± 10.3b 124.2 ± 14.9a 30.3 ± 3.2a 93.9 ± 12.0ab 64.4 ± 2.9a 70.7 ± 3.1a
L-Fabp/-C-ASO 63.9 ± 9.1a 92.1 ± 8.3a 34.3 ± 6.3a 57.8 ± 5.4c 87.0 ± 12.1a 25.3 ± 9.6b
L-Fabp/-M-ASO 167.6 ± 31.6b 135.9 ± 21.6a 32.6 ± 5.4a 103.3 ± 16.5b 82.5 ± 8.9a 86.3 ± 8.2a

WT and L-Fabp−/− mice received either control-ASO or Mttp-ASO for four weeks and were fed a LD for the final 2 weeks, while continuing ASO injection (n = 4–5 per group). Hepatic lipids were extracted and expressed as μg/mg protein except FFA (expressed as nmol/mg protein). The difference between values associated with different superscript letters for the parameters indicated in each vertical column is statistically significant (P < 0.05). TG, triglyceride; TC, cholesterol; FC, free cholesterol; CE, cholesterol ester; PL, phospholipids.
