Figure 7.
Cytohesin-3 deficient mice have an increased lipid excretion. Lipid excretion from wt (white symbols) and ko mice (black symbols) after HFD (n = 6–7) (a) and aged (in average 24 weeks old) wt and ko mice (wt, n = 3; ko, n = 5) (b) was analyzed by extraction from feces. Gene expression of Cyp7a1, Cyp7b1, Cyp8b1 and Cyp27a1 in livers from HFD- and CD-fed male wt (dotted and white bars) and ko mice (hatched and black bars) (Cyp7b1, n = 6–7; for all other Cyps n = 9–11) (c) and from two years old wt and cyth3−/− male mice (n = 6) (d) was analyzed by PCR. The expression was normalized to Hprt. The results are given in means ± SEM (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001).
