Intestinal mucosal triacylglycerol accumulation secondary to decreased lipid secretion in obese and high fat-fed mice

The ectopic deposition of fat in liver and muscle during obesity is well established, however surprisingly little is known about the intestine. We used the ob/ob mouse and C57BL6/J mice fed a high fat (HF) diet to examine the effects of obesity and the effects of HF feeding, respectively, on intesti...
