Because the ratio of phosphorylated to total HMGCR also serves as an indicator of the inactivation state of HMGCR, we assessed the expression of phosphorylated HMGCR and noted that, in SCH mice, the level of phosphorylated HMGCR decreased by 21% (p < 0.05) (Figure 3(a)), and the ratio of phosphorylated HMGCR to total HMGCR decreased by 39% (p < 0.05) (Figure 3(b)). Here, HMGCR is linked to spindle cell hemangioma.
