Effect of 16 weeks of western diet (WD) on plasma lipid profiles. Panel a shows the plasma cholesterol and panel b the triglyceride levels in wildtype and knockout mice (n = 6 per group). Female mice (whether wild-type or knockout) seem to be resistant to a WD-induced hypercholesterolemia (panel a), but this may be a feature of the mouse strain background. FPLC cholesterol profiles of the plasma (panel c, males, panel d, females) showed that the diet in males led to a dyslipidemic profile, but loss of Stap1 did not affect these patterns. Error bars denote ±1 SD
