cardiovascular system
• after an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet, whole aorta and arch lesion area is reduced by 31% and 45%, respectively, compared to double homozygous Icam1 and Ldlr mice, and by 48% and 38%, respectively, compared to single homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• after an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet, develop a less severe hypercholesterolemia than single homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
|
immune system
• total leukocyte counts are increased when mice have been on an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet compared to homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
|
• neutrophil counts are increased when mice have been on an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet compared to homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
|
• lymphocyte counts are increased when mice have been on an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet compared to homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
|
• monocyte counts are increased when mice have been on an 8-week cholesterol-enriched diet compared to homozygous Ldlr mutant mice
