Feeding Tg6F reduces levels of unsaturated PA in the tissue of the small intestine. Female LDLR^−/− mice, age 6–8 months (n = 8 per group), were fed WD or WD plus 2.2% ground freeze-dried Tg6F or EV tomatoes for 3 weeks. The mice were fasted overnight, and after perfusion to remove all blood, the small intestine was harvested, the luminal contents were removed, and the levels in the tissue of the duodenum of saturated (A) or unsaturated (B, C) PA were determined as described in Materials and Methods. The data shown are mean ± SD.
