Figure 1.

Erfe ^−/− mice have normal blood lipid levels during both fed and fasted conditions. Serum NEFA (A), triglyceride (B), total cholesterol (C), HDL‐C (D), LDL‐C (E), and serum glucose levels (F) in male WT and Erfe ^−/− knockout mice that had access to food or were fasted for 16 h prior to sacrifice. Parameters were measured at 10 weeks of age in fed mice and at 18 weeks in fasted mice (n = 8–10 per group). Group means between WT and Erfe‐/‐ mice were independently compared under either fed or fasted conditions by using the student's t‐test. Different superscripts indicate statistical significance (P < 0.05). Values are presented as group means ± SEM.
