To evaluate the impact of the Lpcat3 deficiency on atherosclerosis, we transplanted Lpcat3 KO or wide type (WT) bone marrow into lethally irradiated Ldlr KO mice to produce Lpcat3 KO → Ldlr KO (experimental) and WT → Ldlr KO (control) mice. The gene discussed is LPCAT3; the disease is atherosclerosis.
