Use of Isotope Tracers to Assess Lipid Absorption in Conscious Lymph Fistula Mice.

Current Protocols in Mouse Biology
Chih-Wei KoPatrick Tso

Abstract

This protocol provides a comprehensive reference for the evolution of the lymph fistula model, the mechanism of lipid absorption, the detailed procedure for studying lipid absorption using the lymph fistula model, the interpretation of the results, and consideration of the experimental design. The lymph fistula model is an approach to assess the concentration and rate of a range of molecules transported by the lymph by cannulating lymph duct in animals. In this protocol, mice first undergo surgery with the implantation of cannulae in the duodenum and mesenteric lymph duct and are allowed to recover overnight in Bollman restraining cages housed in a temperature-regulated environment. To study in vivo lipid absorption, a lipid emulsion is prepared with labeled tracers, including [3 H]-triolein and [14 C]-cholesterol. On the day of the experiment, mice are continuously infused with lipid emulsion via the duodenum for 6 hr, and lymph is usually collected hourly. At the end of the study, gastrointestinal segments and their luminal contents are collected separately for determination of the digestion, uptake, and transport of exogenous lipids. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
