Biliary lipid secretion in ASO-treated mice of the indicated genotype
TC | PL | BA | |
WT-C-ASO | 2.7 ± 0.5a | 11.4 ± 1.0a | 79.2 ± 6.4a |
WT-M-ASO | 2.4 ± 0.4a | 11.8 ± 1.2a | 64.8 ± 7.1a |
L-Fabp−/−-C-ASO | 5.5 ± 0.9b | 21.9 ± 3.5a | 158.3 ± 32.0b |
L-Fabp−/−-M-ASO | 2.9 ± 0.4a | 15.3 ± 0.4a | 117.9 ± 10.5ab |
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). Bile was collected and biliary lipid secretion determined and expressed as nmol/min/g liver weight. The difference between values associated with different superscript letters for the parameters indicated in each vertical column is statistically significant (P < 0.05). TC, cholesterol; PL, phospholipids; BA, bile acids.
