CTαIKO mice do not have damage to the brush border membrane or changes to relative abundance of jejunal PC molecular species but do have reduced jejunal expression of genes encoding proteins involved in lipid uptake. A: Representative transmission electron micrographs of intestinal microvilli of control and CTαIKO mice fed the HFD. B: Lpcat3 mRNA abundance in the jejunum of control and CTαIKO mice (n = 5 per group). PC (C) and PE (D) concentrations in the jejunum of control and CTαIKO mice 2 h after HFD refeeding (n = 5 per group). The relative abundance of jejunal PC molecular species (E) and FA methyl esters (FAMES) (F) in PC of control and CTαIKO mice refed the HFD for 2 h (n = 4 or 5 per group). G: mRNA abundance of Cd36, Slc27a4, and Npc1l1 in the jejunum of control and CTαIKO mice 2 h after HFD refeeding (n ≥ 4 per group). All mice were female. Values are means ± SEM. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01.
