  Objectives: The objectives of these studies are to evaluate: 1) uptake of a pulse dose of 13C16:1 cis-9 at varying levels into the blood and 2) glucose and insulin changes after pulse dose of 0 or 5 mg C16:1 cis-9/kg body weight (BW) under challenge conditions in obese lambs. Methods: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate uptake of U-13C16:1 cis-9 into the blood and changes in glucose and insulin under challenges. In the first experiment, lambs (67.4 ± 1.4 kg BW, n=3) received jugular catheters and were used in a 3 x 3 Latin square. Treatments were 0, 2 or 5 mg/kg BW of U-13C16:1 cis-9 in 40% (wt/v) ethanol and blood samples were collected post infusion for glucose, fatty acid and insulin analyses. In the second experiment, lambs (86.7 ± 1.5 kg BW; n=4) received jugular catheters. Treatments were 0 or 5 mg/kg BW of C16:1 i.. Read More»
