From: Two weeks of western diet disrupts liver molecular markers of cholesterol metabolism in rats
Hepatic gene expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), low-density lipoprotein-receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1), sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2), acyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase-2 (ACAT-2), and plasma PCSK9 concentrations in rats (n = 9–10) fed a standard (SD), high fat (HFD), or a western (WD) diet for 2 and 6 weeks. * Significantly (P < 0.05) different from SD; *** P < 0.001; □ significantly (P < 0.05) different from HFD; □□ P < 0.01; □□□ P < 0.001; □ significantly (P < 0.05) different from the two-week values, respectively
