Figure 2

Effect of very low-density lipoprotein receptor (Vldlr) knockout and dietary protein restriction on Vldlr mRNA in mice. Relative Vldlr mRNA levels in (A) liver (total Vldlr), (B) heart, (C) gastrocnemius muscle, (D) epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), (E) liver (type 1 and 2) and (F) liver (type 1 Vldlr) in wild-type (WT) or Vldlr-deficient (VLDLR KO) mice fed a control (20C) or protein-restricted (3C) diet. M in (E) indicates a molecular marker. The unmodified full-length photograph of the gel in (E) is shown in Fig. S5. Values are expressed as a relative value with the WT 20C group as 1 and the mean ± SEM, n = 10 per group. **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 versus 20C.
