Diet-dependent cardiovascular lipid metabolism controlled by hepatic LXRα

Microarray analysis of liver RNA from male Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor null mice on C57B6 background expressing human LXR alpha or GFP (control) via adeno-associated virus (AAV2.8) gene transfer, under control of the liver specific human thyroxine binding globulin promoter. Samples are from 8 month old mice, with AAV treatment at age of 10 weeks, on Western diet for 12 weeks prior experiment. The synthetic LXR ligand T0901317 (5mg/kg) or vehicle was administered for 3 days by i.p. injection to designated mice.
