A) Left panel: anterior intestine of zebrafish larvae (see red frame). B) and C) Larvae were fed a diet composed of 60% TG and 40% PC. Both diets contained fluorescent double labeled PC. B) Fluorescence in the intestinal lumen and epithelium is diffuse, indicating strong emulsification. C) Larvae were treated with Orlistat, a drug blocking neutral lipase activity. Emulsification of dietary lipid was inhibited, visualized as strong globular fluorescence in the lumen. Images represent results from 6 larvae per treatment group. D) More double labeled PC is present in zebrafish treated with lipase inhibitors. Red is double labeled and blue (graph in inset) is single labeled PC. |
