Abstract
Genetic manipulation of the mouse has simplified the study of mammalian lipases and phospholipases at the level of whole animal physiology. Many insights into lipase biology derived from reductionist systems such as cultured cells have been confirmed using induced mutations in mice. But these animals have also provided new information and represent a valuable resource for testing discrete hypotheses in intact animals.
