From: Sex hormones differently regulate lipid metabolism genes in primary human hepatocytes
Sex-specific mRNA expression levels of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) immediately after isolation from liver tissues of female and male donors. mRNA expression levels of ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member 1 (ABCA1), apolipoprotein A-V (APOA5), low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), hepatic lipase (LIPC), apolipoprotein L2 (APOL2) and phospholipase A1 member A (PLA1A) were analyzed by RT-qPCR. The assumed sex bias of the analyzed genes according to literature references [16, 17] is indicated below. Data are shown as geometric mean fold change (FC) + SEM, n = 7 per sex, p < 0.05 (*). For a visualization of individual FC values per donor see additional file 1: Fig. S2
