Comparison of fecal sterol content between WT and hmgcr knock-in mice

Male mice (7–8 weeks old) were fed a chow diet ad libitum before study. WT mice were littermates of hmgcr^Ki/Ki mice. Each value represents the mean ± S.E. of 8–9 values.

Sterol	Wild type	Knock-in	p
	mg/g feces	mg/g feces
Lanosterol	114.56 ± 7.17	156.18 ± 6.76	0.001
Lathosterol	143.30 ± 24.82	216.47 ± 43.75	0.180
Desmosterol	34.01 ± 4.57	39.07 ± 3.95	0.412
Cholesterol	887.95 ± 67.74	1027.45 ± 60.17	0.143
Camptosterol	813.72 ± 21.94	855.08 ± 25.38	0.242
Sitosterol	2179.20 ± 72.10	2243.83 ± 137.54	0.694
