Lipoprotein analysis does not explain differences in lesion burden.

<p>Lipoprotein analysis of plasma from uninfected and Pg infected male <i>Ldlr</i>° and <i>Cd36</i>°<i>/Ldlr</i>° mice after 6 weeks of Western diet feeding. Pg infected <i>Ldlr</i>° mice had significantly lower levels of plasma VLDL and significantly higher levels of plasma LDL/IDL compared with uninfected and infected <i>Cd36</i>°<i>/Ldlr</i>° mice (n = 5–8 mice/group). One way ANOVA, *p< 0.005, **p<0.01. Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test, *,**p<0.05. Pg infected <i>Ldlr</i>° mice had significantly higher levels of plasma HDL compared with uninfected <i>Ldlr</i>° mice. One way ANOVA, *p< 0.01. Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test, ⁺p<0.05.
