Fig. 1

A: incubation of the eggs with and without human serum (10%) for 8 days after pre-exposure to 5 and 10 % human serum of the parents laying the eggs. B: Normal embryonation after the preincubation with 5 % serum, even with apoB-lipoprotein-deficient human serum (apoB (-)). C: Requirement of HDL for embyonaiton. LPDS; lipoprotein deficient serum. Asterisks ** indicate statistical difference at P<0.01 from serum (-) (A) or serum (C).
