Plasma concentration of triglycerides and cholesterol in rabbits fed with a high fat/high cholesterol regimen.

<p>Rabbits (4 wild type, and 3 transgenic rabbits from line shL21) were fed for 8 days with a high fat/high cholesterol diet. Plasma samples were collected before the diet (D0, white bars), after feeding for 8 day with the diet (D8, black bars), after 20 hours starvation (D9 starved, grey bars) and 4 hours after re-feeding with the high fat diet (D9 fed, dotted bars). Triglycerides and cholesterol were assayed as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0106655#pone-0106655-g007" target="_blank">Figure 7</a>. Values are given in mg/ml, with the standard error of the mean. Comparisons were made between transgenic and wild type animals for each day of the challenge (* = p<0.05).
