Differential Expression of Intestinal Genes in Opossums with High and Low Responses to Dietary Cholesterol
Figure 1
Localization of PLB mRNA in the jejunum of opossums fed the HCLF diet. Light-field autoradiographs of intestinal sections from the proximal third segment of a high responding opossum ((a) and (b)) and a low responding opossum ((c) and (d)). With the PLB antisense probe, strong hybridization signals were present in the villi of the high responder (a), but weak signals were present in the low responder (c). With the PLB sense probe, hybridization signals were barely detectable ((b) and (d)). Bar is m.
