Background: Small bowel resection (SBR) induces adaptation that is both structural (lengthened villi) and molecular (altered gene expression). The latter involves changes in nutrient, and especially lipid, processing.

Since ECM influences cellular gene expression, we hypothesized ECM critically affects not only …
