homeostasis/metabolism
• basal biliary sterol secretion rates are decreased by 82%
• basal biliary phospholipid secretion rates are decreased by 35%
|
• expression of cholesterol metabolism genes in the liver is altered
|
liver/biliary system
• liver weights are slightly increased, however this is not due to steatosis as triglyceride levels are not increased
|
• basal biliary sterol secretion rates are decreased by 82%
• basal biliary phospholipid secretion rates are decreased by 35%
• exhibit increased bile flow after the creation of a gallbladder fistula, however bile salt output rates and biliary bile salt composition are unaffected
|
• 45% reduction in liver sterol ester concentrations
• do not exhibit an increase in sterol secretion when fed the LXR agonist T0901317, as is seen with wild-type
|
growth/size/body
• liver weights are slightly increased, however this is not due to steatosis as triglyceride levels are not increased
