Fig 5. Hemopexin (Hp) is the protein necessary to promote the association of hemoglobin (Hb) with HDL.

(A) HDL cholesterol (A1) and associated ApoA-1 (A2) concentrations in C57BL/6J wild-type (WT), Hp−/− or Hx−/− mice with or without SCD (n = 8 each). (B,C) Hb, Hp and hemopexin (Hx) in plasma (B1–B3, respectively), determined by direct ELISA, and in ApoA-1 (C1–C3, respectively), determined by sandwich ELISA. ANOVA were performed for statistical analysis. * = p<0.05, ** = p<0.01; # = p<0.05, ## = p<0.01. The symbol “#” shown statistical difference between SCD and control in same genotype.
