Enhanced lipid tolerances in Ctrp1 KO male mice fed a LFD. A: serum TG levels over time in WT (n = 12) and KO (n = 10) male mice challenged with an oral lipid gavage. B: AUC as shown in A. C: serum nonesterified free fatty acids (NEFA) over time in WT (n = 12) and KO (n = 10) male mice challenged with an oral lipid gavage. D: AUC as shown in C. E: serum TG levels over time in WT (n = 17) and KO (n = 8) female mice challenged with an oral lipid gavage. F: AUC as shown in E. G: serum NEFA over time in WT (n = 17) and KO (n = 8) female mice challenged with an oral lipid gavage. H: AUC as shown in G. I: there were no differences in the export of VLDL-TG from the livers of WT (n = 13) and KO (n = 13) male mice. J and K: total LPL (J) and hepatic lipase (K) activity levels in WT (n = 17) and KO (n = 13) male mice. All data are expressed as means ± SE. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
