LAL-KO Intestines Accumulate Lipids from the Systemic Circulation WTD-fed LAL-KO mice accumulate lipids predominantly in the duodenum and WTD-fed LAL-KO mice accumulate lipids predominantly within the duodenum and jejunum, along with the tiny intestine is markedly shorter compared to handle mice (Figure 3a). jejunum, and the compact intestine is markedly shorter compared to handle mice (Figure 3a).
