1 HDLc levels were significantly decreased by 29% (P=0.01) in Abca8b-/- mice on a high-cholesterol diet compared with wild-type mice, whereas hepatic overexpression of human ABCA8 in mice resulted in significant increases in plasma HDLc and the first steps of macrophage-to-feces reverse cholesterol transport.
