  • Title: Development and physiological regulation of intestinal lipid absorption. II. Dietary lipid absorption, complex lipid synthesis, and the intracellular packaging and secretion of chylomicrons.
    Author: Mansbach CM, Gorelick F.
    Journal: Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol; 2007 Oct; 293(4):G645-50. PubMed ID: 17627968.
    Abstract:
    Research in dietary fat absorption has developed urgency because of the widely recognized epidemic of obesity in the United States. Despite its clinical importance, many controversies exist over some of the basic aspects of this process from the mechanisms of fatty acid uptake to the control of triacylglycerol export in chylomicrons. Recent advances have included the identification of a number of fatty acid transporters, the discovery of families of acyl-CoA synthetase long chains and acyltransferases, a physiological function for liver-fatty acid binding protein, and the characterization of the prechylomicron transport vesicle transporting chylomicrons from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi.
