Liver lipid mass for ApoE^−/− and LDLr^−/− mice.

<p>Mice were fed a HFC diet either supplemented or not with 0.5% fatty acid for 11 wk. Livers were obtained at sacrifice and lipids extracted in chloroform. TG, FC and CE were quantified by gas-liquid chromatography and PL by phospholipid C enzymatic assay. Data are presented as total mass per gram of liver weight (mean ± S.E.M.; n = 10 to 13). (TG, triglycerides; FC, free cholesterol; CE cholesterol esters; PL phospholipids). * p<0.05 vs. HFC and ** p<0.01 vs. HFC.
