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

Fig. 4

Hepatic mRNA expression of genes involved in uptake of cholesterol rich lipoproteins from the circulation 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 < 0.001). Ldlr, LDL-receptor; Lrp-1, LDL receptor-related protein-1; Srebp2, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2
