Serum cholesterol levels in WT, ABCA1 KO, ABCA7 KO and dKO bone marrow transplanted mice on chow and WTD.

Serum cholesterol levels were measured in LDLr−/− at 8 and 18 weeks after transplantation with bone marrow from WT, ABCA1 KO, ABCA7, or dKO mice. At 8 weeks after bone marrow transplantation, the regular chow diet was switched to a high-cholesterol diet. Data represent the means±SEM of 12–16 mice. Statistical significance of *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001 compared with WT transplanted mice. Abbreviations: WTD = Western-type diet; VLDL = very-low-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; C = cholesterol.
