  1. Female A/J mice were fed rexinoids (100Ā mg/kg diet) or control diet for 12Ā weeks. Steady state drug levels in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cholesterol and triglycerides levels were quantified using commercially available kits as described in the Methods. n = 8 mice/group. Ē‚, p < 0.01 vs. control; *, = p < 0.01 vs. bexarotene. Results shown are mean ± SE.
