1 METHODS AND RESULTS: Mice deficient for oxygen sensor HIF-prolyl hydroxylase 1 (PHD1) were backcrossed onto an atherogenic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) knockout background and atherosclerosis was studied upon 8 weeks of western-type diet. Oxygen egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 2 Mus musculus
2 PHD1-/-LDLR-/- mice presented a sharp reduction in VLDL and LDL plasma cholesterol levels. Cholesterol egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 2 Mus musculus
3 Mechanistically, cholesterol-lowering in PHD1 deficient mice was a result of enhanced cholesterol excretion from blood to intestines and ultimately faeces. Cholesterol egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 2 Mus musculus
4 Mechanistically, cholesterol-lowering in PHD1 deficient mice was a result of enhanced cholesterol excretion from blood to intestines and ultimately faeces. Cholesterol egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 2 Mus musculus
5 In addition, when studying PHD1-/- in diet-induced obesity (14 weeks high-fat diet) mice were less glucose intolerant when compared with WT littermate controls. Glucose egl-9 family hypoxia-inducible factor 2 Mus musculus
