The sterols and the expressions of lipid metabolism related genes in mice retina. A Retinal sterol quantifications. Results are mean ± SD of the measurements in individual mice (4 animals/genotype/sex; number of mice equals the number of retinas); animals were 38-week-old. Statistical significance was assessed by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. Asterisk indicate statistically significant differences between sexes of the same genotype. nError bars were the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05. B The expressions of lipid metabolism related genes in mice retina. Sterol cleavage activating protein (SCAP), sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) in Apoe−/− mice and C57BL6/J with HFD and LFD mice. GAPDH was used as the internal reference of PCR. The mean value and standard deviation of 8 cDNA samples were shown in each histogram, and LFD-C57BL/6J was used as the control.
