Nutrient handling in aLKO mice: (A) Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of Lpl expression in metabolically active tissues (highlighted in black) and parts of the skeleton (highlighted in red) in 12-week-old female C57BL6/J mice; and (B) adipocyte-specific Lpl knock-out (aLKO) mice compared to wild-type controls; (C) Total tissue lipids in aLKO mice and controls. Mean ± SEM; n = 5 per group; (D) Organ uptake of: ³H-SFA tracers; and (E) ¹⁴C-deoxyglucose after a combined oral tolerance test. Mean ± SEM; n = 6 per group. (* p < 0.05, # p < 0.01). BAT: brown adipose tissue, BM: bone marrow.
