Hepatic gene expression of Cd36 and Ldlr genes in PCSK9^−/− mice. Hepatic expression at mRNA level was measured by qPCR and calculated with 2^−ΔΔCt method (A, C). The relative protein level on the blots was determined by ImageJ, using actin as an internal control (B, D). Values are reported as mean ± SD; n = 5 in each group. The p value was determined by multiple T-test (A and B). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
