Paigen3: Diet effects on gallstone formation, liver pathology, plasma lipids, and pathogen-accelerated atherosclerosis in 8 obesity mutant mouse strains (2000)

Bouchard G, Johnson D, Carver T, Paigen B, Carey MC. Cholesterol gallstone formation in overweight mice establishes that obesity per se is not linked directly to cholelithiasis risk. J Lipid Res. 2002 Jul;43(7):1105-13.   PubMed 12091495

All animals were fed a high-fat (15% fat) diet for 8 wks. Blood chemistry and cholesterol were measured. After sac, a pathology review of livers and gallbladders was conducted. A collection of liver images is available as part of this project.

Procedures conducted:
• body weight  Baseline vs. high-fat diet for 8wks.
• lipid profile  Cholesterol, HDL, non-HDL. 4h fast, plasma. Hepatic lipids. 8wks on high-fat diet.
• metabolic panel  Alanine transaminase, bile salts (plasma) after 8wks on high-fat diet. 4h fast.
• histopathology  Gallstone, gallbladder, and atherosclerosis lesion histopathology after 8wks on high-fat diet
• organ dimensions  Gallbladder volume after 8wks on high-fat diet
• organ weights  Liver weight after 8wks on high-fat diet.
