Concentrations of esterified cholesterol (EC) and unesterified cholesterol in multiple organs of lal^+/+ and lal^−/− mice. The tissue cholesterol concentration data in various organs (A) are for 50-day-old male mice, whereas those specifically for the small intestine (B) are for female mice in the age range of 21–274 days. Values are means ± SE of data from 6 mice of each genotype (A), and from a minimum of 5 animals in each group (B), except at 52 days when there were 4 mice of each genotype, and also at 274 days when there were only 3 lal^−/− mice. *Significantly different from value for matching lal^+/+ controls (P < 0.05).
