However, the degree of steatosis and hypotriglyceridemia did not differ between Ildr2 shRNA Ildr2flfl and Ildr2 shRNA Ildr2Alb KO mice, suggesting that Ildr2 expression is either irrelevant to the phenotype or has an equivalent effect at levels below a specific threshold, i.e. below 50%. Here, ILDR2 is linked to steatosis.
