From: Reduced intestinal lipid absorption improves glucose metabolism in aged G2-Terc knockout mice
Telomere shortening reduces expression of intestinal fatty acid uptake and transport related genes. qPCR analysis of expression of fatty acid uptake, glucose uptake, inflammation and tight junction related genes in 14 month old male (a) and female (b) G2-Terc.−/− and control mice (Male mice: n = 12–16 WT, n = 14–15 KO; female mice: n = 10 WT, n = 14 KO). LipidTOX staining of lipid droplets in intestinal villi from male (c) and female (d) mice. Green: lipid droplet, blue: DAPI. Statistical analysis by unpaired t-test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. Scale bar represents 75µm
