Moreover, since WD-induced hyperlipidemia modulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) [21], which are defined as Lin−Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells (LSK) [14] (Figure 4E), we performed flow cytometry analyses in freshly isolated bone marrow cells following 4 months of diet. The gene discussed is KIT; the disease is hyperlipidemia.
