Table 1.

Body weights and total plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Parameter Wt Grx2aMacLDLR−/−
Females n=10 n=9
Weight, g 30.8 ± 1.4 28.1 ± 0.8
Plasma total cholesterol, mg/dl 586 ± 130 670 ± 98
Triglycerides, mg/dl 96 ± 20 106 ± 14
Males n=5 n=11
  Weight, g 44.3 ± 1.4 41.1 ± 1.4
  Plasma total cholesterol, mg/dl 1244 ± 205 938 ± 183
  Triglycerides, mg/dl 195 ± 44 238 ± 25

After 14 weeks of HFD-feeding of LDLR−/− (Wt) and transgenic Grx2aMacLDLR−/− mice (Grx2aMacLDLR−/−) was completed, mice were weighed and plasma was obtained after cardiac punctures. Total plasma cholesterol and triglycerides were determined as described under Material and Methods. Results are expressed as mean ± SE.
