From: Pharmacogenetic interaction between dexamethasone and Cd36-deficient segment of spontaneously hypertensive rat chromosome 4 affects triacylglycerol and cholesterol distribution into lipoprotein fractions

Figure 1

Triacylglycerol and cholesterol profile of BN vs. BN.SHR4. The triacylglycerol (A, B) and cholesterol (C, D) content in 20 lipoprotein subfractions in standard diet-fed (STD, A and C) and dexamethasone-treated (DEX, B and D) BN (open symbols) vs. BN.SHR4 (closed symbols) male rats (n = 6/strain*treatment). Within the graph, the significance levels of strain comparison (BN vs. BN.SHR4, two-way ANOVA with STRAIN and DEX as major factors followed by post-hoc Tukey's honest significance difference test) are indicated as follows: *...p < 0.05; **...p < 0.01; ***...p < 0.001. The allocation of individual lipoprotein subfractions to major lipoprotein classes is shown in order of particle's decreasing size from left to right. CM...chylomicron, VLDL...very low-density lipoprotein, LDL...low density lipoprotein, HDL...high-density lipoprotein.
