From: Decreased NPC1L1 expression in the liver from Chinese female gallstone patients
Hepatic expression of NPC1L1 protein in female gallstone patients (GS) and female gallstone-free patients (GSF). A: Correlation between NPC1L1 mRNA and protein levels in 18 female subjects (P < 0.01). AU, arbitrary units. B: NPC1L1 protein expression in female patients with gallstone disease (n = 11), and without gallstone disease (n = 7). GAPDH is shown as a control. R represents a human liver membrane sample that was used as a reference for each gel. C: NPC1L1 protein level was lower in female GS than in female GSF. Data show means ± SD of the value obtained from the quantitation of the blots shown in 2B. A.U., arbitrary units.
