Cholesterol starvation has little effect on <i>apl-1</i> transcription.

<p>A) <i>apl-1</i> expression levels of N2 L4 worms grown on cholesterol-deficient or excess cholesterol conditions for one generation. Cholesterol peptone indicates cholesterol containing control plates that, like the (−) cholesterol plates, were made using ether extracted peptone. The slight increase in <i>apl-1</i> expression was not significant this generation. B) Expression of <i>apl-1</i> in the second generation of worms grown on the different cholesterol conditions. (n = 3 experimental replicates) (**, P<0.01) Error bars represent the STD.
