In addition, hepatic expression of ApoB and MTP, which are required for very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) assembly and hepatic TG secretion, and key genes related to fatty acid uptake, including CD36 and LDLR, in DSS-induced colitis mice was also significantly lower than that of non-colitis controls (Fig. 3J,K). This evidence concerns the gene LDLR and colitis.
