• DL-LDL levels increased about 2 fold over the 32mg/dl level found in mice carrying only the transgene
• 3-4 fold increase in IDL-LDL on a Western diet over the 86mg/dl level found in mice carrying only the transgene but also on a Western diet
|
• increased 10 fold over the level of 50mg/dl or less found in mice carrying only the transgene
• more pronounced increase when fed a Western diet
