Macrophage-to-feces RCT assay in CETP transgenic mice. Plasma, bile, liver tissue, and feces was isolated or collected for radioactivity determination. At 0, 6,12 and 24 h after injection, blood samples from each group were collected from the retro-orbital sinus for radioactivity determination (Panel a). The levels of 3H-labeled cholesterol in liver (Panel b), bile (Panel c) and feces (Panel d) from each group were also determined by liquid scintillation counting. Values were expressed as the percentages of the total injected radioactivity (means ± S.D, n = 6 for plasma, n = 9 for liver, bile and feces). Significantly different from respective control: *p < 0.05
