homeostasis/metabolism
• at 4 and 12 weeks, female mice fed a high cholesterol diet exhibit lower levels compared with Apoetm1Khw homozygotes fed a high cholesterol diet
• in mice fed a high cholesterol diet compared with Apoetm1Khw homozygotes fed a high cholesterol diet
• at least 2-fold in mice fed a high cholesterol diet
• female mice fed a high cholesterol diet develop hypercholesterolemia faster than male mice
• macrophages release increased ApoE compared with macrophages from Apoetm1Rraf homozygotes

cardiovascular system
• in the descending aorta of mice fed a high cholesterol diet compared with Apoetm1Khw homozygotes fed a high cholesterol diet
• however, lesion formation in the aortic arch is equivalent

immune system
N
• leukocyte levels are not altered
