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 |

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 |

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.
