Here, we presented new original data on the effects of iron
depletion on the circulating lipid pro
fi
le in B6HCV mice, a murine
model of HCV-related dyslipidemia. Male adult B6HCV mice were
subjected to non-invasive iron depletion by low iron diet. Serum
iron concentration was assessed for evaluating the effects of the
dietary iron depletion. Concentrations of circulating triglycerides,
total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins (LDLs), High Density
Lipoproteins (HDLs) were analyzed and reported by using stacked
line charts. The present data indicated that low serum iron con-
centration is associated to i) lower serum triglycerides con-
centrations and ii) increased circulating LDLs. The presented ori-
ginal data have not been published elsewhere
