Figure 4From: Unavailability of liver triacylglycerol increases serum cholesterol concentration induced by dietary cholesterol in exogenously hypercholesterolemic (ExHC) ratsHepatic messenger RNA expression levels in SD and ExHC rats. Hepatic messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels in SD/Sea and ExHC rats were measured using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The β-actin gene was used as an internal control, and data were set relative to SD rats. Values are means ± SEM; n = 5. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. See Table 2 for a key to the abbreviations and sequences of the primers used.Back to article page
