• significant increase in plasma unesterified to esterified cholesterol ratio compared to Apoa1tm1(APOA1)Prli homozygotes, suggesting impaired cholesterol esterification
|
• total cholesterol is lower
|
• plasma HDL cholesterol is 63% and 50% lower than in Apoa1tm1(APOA1)Prli homozygotes or Apoa1tm1(APOA1)Prli/Apoa1tm2(APOA1)Prli heterozygotes, respectively
