A Deficiency of Herp, an Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Protein, Suppresses Atherosclerosis in ApoE Knockout Mice by Attenuating Inflammatory Responses
Figure 3
Effect of Herp deficiency on the plasma glucose and lipid levels.
The body weight (A) and the plasma levels of glucose (B), cholesterol (C), triglycerides (D) and NEFA (E) following overnight fasting at eight, 16, 24, 36 and 72 weeks of age, were determined as described in the Methods. Open circles show apoE−/−, and closed squares show Herp−/−; apoE−/− mice. Each value represents the mean ± SEM; n = 5 per group. * p<0.01 vs. Herp−/−; apoE−/− mice at the same age.
