Kinetics of instantaneous 13CO2 enrichment measured by extended InCa after gavage of a single liquid mixed meal containing 13C-labelled tracers, in mice fed a HFD for nine weeks (second mouse study). (a) 13CO2 enrichment after ingestion of the 13C glucose liquid mixed meal followed for 13 h (n = 23), calculated from 13CO2 and 12CO2 concentrations. (b) 13CO2 (left y-axis) and 12CO2 (right y-axis) concentrations used to calculate 13CO2 enrichments as shown in panel (a), expressed as the difference (delta) from gas concentrations measured in mouse-occupied cages minus gas concentrations in the reference cage (i.e. gas production). (c) 13CO2 enrichment after ingestion of the 13C palmitate liquid mixed meal (n = 24). (d) 13CO2 (left y-axis) and 12CO2 (right y-axis) concentrations used to calculate 13CO2 enrichments as shown in panel (c). The horizontal dotted lines indicate baseline 13CO2 enrichment. Shaded areas represent the dark phase. Data is presented as mean ± SD. PW, postnatal week.
