Growth Curves of F2 mice. The body weights of male (top set of lines) and female (bottom set of lines) F2 rats were monitored with time. At 17 weeks, most of the male F2 animals were sacrificed, or were used to determine intestinal absorption (see Fig. 5). At 17 weeks, female F2 rats were placed on a more defined plant sterol diet and their drinking water substituted with 1% NaCl. No differences in body weight gains between any of the Abcg5 genotypes (wild-type, WT; heterozygous, HET and homozygous mutant, HMZ) were observed.
