D-4F reduces EO6 immunoreactivity, SREBP-1c mRNA levels, and renal inflammation in LDL receptor-null mice fed a Western diet
LDL receptor-null (LDLR−/−) mice on a Western diet (WD) develop endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, which are improved by the apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) mimetic peptide D-4F. Focusing on the kidney, LDLR−/−mice were fed a WD with D-4F or the inactive control peptide scrambled D-4F (ScD-4F)...
