Disruption of liver LPL altered plasma lipid metabolism. The control and Lpl^Δhep male mice at the age of ∼2–6 months were fed a normal chow diet. A: Body weight was not affected at the age of ∼2–6 months. B: The TG and TC contents in the liver were not affected by the deletion of hepatic Lpl. C: LPL^Δhep mice showed an increase in fasting plasma TG and TC levels and a decrease in plasma FFA levels. The mice were fasted for 6 h. Results represent the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus control; n = 6–10 for each group.
