Plasma levels of triglyceride

	Fasted	Intralipid
Apo A-IV+/+	67 ± 3 (n = 4)*	91 ± 5 (n = 9)*
Apo A-IV−/−	51 ± 5 (n = 5)**	77 ± 7 (n = 7)**

There was no significant difference in lipid absorption between Apo A-IV wildtype and knockout mice. Intralipid gavage significantly increased fasting plasma triglyceride levels (mg TAG (ml plasma)⁻¹) in comparison with fasting TAG levels in both wildtype (*P < 0.008) and knockout (** P < 0.03) mice. However, there was no significant difference between fasting or lipid-fed TAG levels in wildtype and knockout mice.
