Notes: For each KO line, blood was drawn on 8 fed KO mice (4 male, 4 female) and 4 fed WT mice (2 male, 2 female) at 15 weeks of age as described in Materials and Methods. The only comparison where KO and WT data differ is in bold font; **P < 0.01.
Abbreviations: WT, wild type; KO, knockout; mmol, millimole; L, liter; mg, milligram; dL, deciliter; g, gram; IU, international units; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; ALT, alanine aminotransferase.
