Vasculitis, Atherosclerosis, and Altered HDL Composition in Heme-Oxygenase-1-Knockout Mice

Table 1

Body weight and plasma lipid levels of HO-1-knockout mice.

HO-1 genotype	+/+(𝑛=7)	+/−(𝑛=6)	−/−(𝑛=5)
Body weight (g)	45.6 ± 4.3	43.8 ± 3.8	30.6 ± 3.9*
Hematocrit (%)	46 ± 4	44 ± 2	41 ± 2
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	92 ± 18	87 ± 11	86 ± 15
Triglyceride (mg/dL)	106 ± 38	26 ± 4	14 ± 3*
HDL-cholesterol (mg/dL)	73 ± 8	72 ± 11	65 ± 9
Free Fatty Acid (mg/dL)	43 ± 7	41 ± 8	36 ± 3

Lipid levels are given in mg/dL ± S.D. Values for lipid levels on a standard chow diet were from mice of 50% C57BL/6 and 50% 129/Sv genetic background. *𝑃<0.05.
