Figure 2.
Lipoprotein distribution in C57BL/6 mice transplanted with LPL+/+, LPL+/– and LPL–/– FLCs after 8 weeks on the atherogenic diet. Mice were fasted for 4 hours. Lipoprotein distribution was determined by FPLC followed by cholesterol analysis of each fraction. Data are represented as an average (n = 3) percent distribution of total cholesterol. Fractions 14–17 contain VLDL; fractions 18–24 are IDL/LDL; and fractions 25–29 contain HDL. Fractions 30–40 are the non–lipoprotein-associated proteins.
