homeostasis/metabolism
• homozygotes on a high cholesterol diet injected with an adenovirus carrying the Cre1 recombinse (Ad-Cre1) to delete the floxed region in the liver, show a significant reduction in plasma cholesterol
|
• homozygotes fed a chow or high cholesterol diet that were injected with Ad-Cre1 show a marked or slight reduction, respectively, in the HDL fraction
|
• homozygotes fed a chow or high cholesterol diet that were injected with Ad-Cre1 show an almost complete absence of lipoproteins in the IDL/LDL fraction
|
• homozygotes fed a chow or high cholesterol diet that were injected with Ad-Cre1 show an almost complete absence of lipoproteins in the VLDL fraction
|
• homozygotes fed a fat-free diet that were injected with AD-Cre1 show a triglyceride secretion rate that is reduced to less than 1/10 that in wild-type
|
• homozygotes fed a chow or high cholesterol diet that were injected with Ad-Cre1 show an essentially abolished VLDL region
