Effect of LDLR overexpression on VLDL/LDL-mediated drug transport in vivo. (A) LDLR-mutant (LDLR-MT) mice were infected with LDLR-expressing adenovirus to generate LDLR-rescued mice (LDLR-MT+Ad-LDLR). GFP-expressing adenovirus was used as a control. Three days after the infection, overexpression of LDLR was confirmed by western blotting. (B) Association of cholesterol with lipoproteins in LDLR-MT and LDLR-MT+Ad-LDLR mice. (C) Effect of adenovirus-mediated LDLR-overexpression (Ad-LDLR) on serum cholesterol concentration in LDLR-MT mice. (D) Serum clopidogrel concentration in LDLR-MT and LDLR-MT+Ad-LDLR mice. (E) Effect of LDLR rescue on the hepatic concentration of clopidogrel and its metabolites at 4 h after clopidogrel administration. Bars represent the mean ± s.e.m. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
