Abstract | AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: METHODS: RESULTS:
ApoE ( -/- )/MKR and ApoE ( -/- ) mice showed significantly improved blood glucose, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Reduced triacylglycerol content in liver and reduced fat accumulation in liver and adipose tissue were found in ApoE ( -/- )/MKR and ApoE ( -/- ) mice compared with control and MKR mice. ApoE ( -/- ) and ApoE ( -/- )/MKR mice demonstrated similarly large atherosclerotic lesions, whereas MKR and control mice had small atherosclerotic lesions. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION:
