Lipid absorption and subsequent CM secretion were determined as previously described [25 (link)] with minor modifications. Briefly, 4-h fasted mice were injected with 500 mg/kg poloxamer-P407 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and 30 min post-injection, gavaged with 100 μl corn oil containing 2 μCi [3H]-triolein (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA), 0.5 μCi [14C]-cholesterol (ARC Inc, St. Louis, MO), and 0.25% cholesterol. Radioactivity in plasma was measured 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after gavage by liquid scintillation counting.
