digestive/alimentary system
• percent cholesterol absorption values are increased in mutants on a lithogenic diet compared to wild-type mice
|
• small intestinal transit time is increased in mutants on both normal chow and lithogenic diets
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• percent cholesterol absorption values are increased in mutants on a lithogenic diet compared to wild-type mice
|
• the bile salt pool is larger in mutants on a lithogenic diet compared to wild-type mice
|
• increased cholesterol is seen in the gall bladder and hepatic bile in mutants on a lithogenic diet compared to wild-type mice
|
liver/biliary system
• on a lithogenic diet gall bladder volumes are greater in mutants compared to wild-type mice
|
gallstones
(

)
• on a lithogenic diet significantly more gallstones are found in mutants
|
• the cholesterol content of the bile salts is increased in mutants on a lithogenic diet compared to wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
