From: High dietary cholesterol and ovariectomy in rats repress gene expression of key markers of VLDL and bile acid metabolism in liver

Fig 2

Hepatic mRNA expression of genes involved in VLDL synthesis/production in sham (■) and ovariectomized (Ovx, gray square symbol) rats fed a standard diet (SD), a SD + 0.25 % cholesterol diet (SD + Chol), and a high fat + 0.25 % cholesterol diet (HF + Chol). Values are mean ± SE with n = 8 rats per group. ***Significantly different from respective Sham rats (P < 0.001); Significantly different from rats fed the respective SD diet (P < 0.05), ††(P < 0.01), †††(P < 0.001); δδSignificantly different from rats fed the respective SD + Chol diet (P < 0.01). Mttp microsomal TG transfer protein; Dgat-2, diacylglycerol acyl transferase-2; apoB-100, apolipoprotein B-100; Acat-2, acyl-coA cholesterol acyl transferase-2; Sar1a, small GTP-binding protein; Cideb, cell death-inducing like-effector type B
