Intestinal lipid absorption in F2 rats. Male F2 rats had their lymph ducts cannulated as described (see Methods) and had lymph flow quantitiated to ensure adequate and stable flow (panel A). Labeled triolein (panel B) or cholesterol (panel C was administered via the duodenal tube, and the recovery of radio-isotope in the lymph quantitated with time. No differences in the appearance of label for either triolein (triglyceride absorption) or cholesterol was observed between WT, HET or HMZ F2 rats.
