Figure 1: Atheroprotective effects of thermogenic adipocytes are linked to plasma HDL-cholesterol.
From: Thermogenic adipocytes promote HDL turnover and reverse cholesterol transport

(a) Fasting plasma HDL-cholesterol were measured in Western-type diet-fed female E3L.CETP mice at the indicated time points during treatment with CL316,243 (CL) or vehicle (control; *P<0.05 determined by Student’s t-test, n≥13). (b) Correlation of HDL-cholesterol levels in E3L.CETP mice with atherosclerotic plaque size after CL treatment. Values in a are means±s.e.m. (n≥13 per group). *P<0.05 (a,b: univariate regression analysis).
