From: Decreased NPC1L1 expression in the liver from Chinese female gallstone patients
Quantitative mRNA expression levels in genes from the liver in female gallstone patients (GS) and female gallstone-free patients (GSF). A: Relative gene expression between female GS (n = 57) and female GSF (n = 12). The dotted line at value 1 represents the mean gene expression level in female GSF, which was arbitrarily set to 1 (A.U.); the black bars represent the gene expression levels in female GS (means ± SD). B: Correlation between hepatic NPC1L1 and SREBP2 mRNA levels (n = 69). C: Correlation between hepatic ABCG5 and ABCG8 mRNA levels (n = 69). D: Correlation between hepatic LXRα and ABCG5 mRNA levels (n = 69). E: Correlation between hepatic LXRα and ABCG8 mRNA levels (n = 69).
