ApoA-I deficiency causes both hypertriglyceridemia and increased atherosclerosis in human apoB transgenic mice

To study the role of low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in atherosclerosis risk, human apoB transgenic mice (HuBTg) were crossed with apoA-I-deficient (apoA-I–/–) mice. After a high fat challenge, total cholesterol levels increased drastically due to an increas...
