• Allelic Composition: Abcg5^tm1Plo/Abcg5^tm1Plo
• Genetic Background: involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6J

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

adipose tissue

decreased white adipose tissue amount ( J:192806 )

• less perigonadal adipose tissue

decreased fat cell size ( J:192806 )

growth/size/body

enlarged liver ( J:87209 )

• liver is slightly increased in size compared to wild-type

homeostasis/metabolism

increased circulating phytosterol level ( J:87209 )

• 37- and 7.7-fold increase of the plant sterols beta-sitosterol and campesterol , respectively, in the plasma relative to controls

• plasma levels of the plant sterols stigmasterol and brassicasterol are increased

• plasma plant sterol concentrations are further elevated when treated with the synthetic LXR agonist T0901317 unlike in wild-type where they are lowered

increased circulating triglyceride level ( J:87209 )

• plasma triglycerides are elevated, predominantly in the very-low-density lipoprotein-sized lipoprotein fractions

increased circulating VLDL triglyceride level ( J:87209 )

decreased cholesterol level ( J:87209 )

• cholesterol content is reduced in gallbladder bile

decreased circulating cholesterol level ( J:87209 )

• 60% that of controls

abnormal phospholipid level ( J:87209 )

• phospholipid concentration in the gallbladder bile is decreased, however the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio is unchanged

abnormal metabolism ( J:87209 )

• retention of orally administered radiolabeled beta-sitosterol is increased in the small intestine, liver, and plasma 24 hours after administration

liver/biliary system

enlarged liver ( J:87209 )

• liver is slightly increased in size compared to wild-type

abnormal liver physiology ( J:87209 )

• accumulation of plant sterols in the liver

• however, do not observe steatosis

reproductive system

female infertility ( J:192806 )

male infertility ( J:192806 )
