Effect of QTL on lipid metabolic parameters in the normal and diabetic mice.

Group	Total cholesterol (mmol/gprot)	Triglyceride (mmol/gprot)	LDL-C (mmol/L)	HDL-C (mmol/L)	HDL/LDL
Normal	3.73 ± 1.24	0.47 ± 0.24	0.42 ± 0.09	1.22 ± 0.23	2.9
Normal + QTL	2.84 ± 1.95B	0.45 ± 0.92	0.39 ± 0.14B	1.43 ± 0.21	3.7B
DM	6.72 ± 0.83B	0.85 ± 0.18B	0.69 ± 0.13	1.05 ± 0.19B	1.5B
DM + QTL	4.15 ± 1.16A,D	0.58 ± 0.35A,D	0.45 ± 0.10B	2.19 ± 0.38B,D	4.9B,D

Values were expressed as mean ± SD, n = 7 for each group. ^A P < 0.05 compared to control group. ^B P < 0.01 compared to control group. ^C P < 0.05 compared to diabetic group. ^D P < 0.01 compared to diabetic group.
