Figure 2Macrophage RCT in SR-BI–knockout mice. SR-BI
–/– mice and wild-type littermates were injected intraperitoneally with [
3H]cholesterol-labeled J774 foam cells in 2 independent experiments and results pooled for analysis (
n = 11 per group). (
A) [
3H]cholesterol in plasma, liver, and feces. (
B) Cholesterol mass and [
3H]cholesterol lipoprotein profile of pooled plasma samples drawn 24 hours after injection of J774 cells subjected to FPLC analysis. *
