Fig. 6. Hepatic lipid levels on day 21 in male (panel A) and female (panel B) hApoBtg mice and of male LDLr–/–/apobec–/– mice (Panel C) fed either control or flax diets. *Different from control diet fed mice, p < 0.05. Male hApoBtg: 7 mice/treatment; female hApoB: Flax, n = 13 and Control, n = 12; LDLr–/–/apobec–/–: Flax, n = 6 and Control, n = 5.
