  1. The effect of TCPOBOP and CAR on the expression of cholesterol synthesis and Srebp2 signaling genes as measured by RT-PCR. Cyp3a11 and Cyp2b10 serve as positive controls for CAR activated genes. Data represents fold changes ± standard deviation of treated versus vehicle treated or untreated CAR -/- versus wild type (WT). All animals were fed standard chow diet. Six animals per group were analyzed and statistical significance was determined using Student t-test. Unigene symbols were used as abbreviations. *p < 0.05.
