phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit elevated liver, plasma, stool, and biliary levels of desmosterol
• mice exhibit slightly elevated lanosterol levels in the liver
• however, circulating levels of cholesterol are normal, sterol levels in the brains show no differences in cholesterol or desmosterol levels, and no changes in the levels of stool cholesterol are seen
• hepatic cholesterol levels are slightly decreased in females

liver/biliary system
• liver shows elevated desmosterol level and slightly elevated lanosterol levels
• however, no differences are seen in liver cell morphology or hepatic lipid accumulation
• hepatic cholesterol levels are slightly decreased in females
• biliary desmosterol level is increased
• however, no differences in levels of biliary cholesterol, bile acids or biliary phospholipids are seen

digestive/alimentary system
• stool desmosterol level is increased

N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a very large increase in plasma desmosterol level
• liver, brain, and heart tissue desmosterol levels are elevated in tamoxifen-treated mice
• however, liver, brain and heart tissue cholesterol levels in tamoxifen-treated mice are normal
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 4-5 weeks of age show an early decline and stable decrease in plasma cholesterol
• however, cholesterol content of liver, brain, and heart is normal

liver/biliary system
• bile shows elevated desmosterol levels in tamoxifen-treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice show lower biliary cholesterol level
