Absorption of Di‐ and triglycerides by intestinal slices in vitro

Abstract
The uptake by hamster intestinal rings of labeled 1,3‐diolein and triolein in bile salt emulsions was studied.About 6% of triolein was taken up from emulsions containing glycerides and fatty acid in 6 mM sodium taurodeoxycholate. Lesser uptake was noted when triolein was emulsified with lecithin, cholesterol and bile salt; lowest uptake (3%) was observed from triolein‐lecithincholesterol emulsions prepared without bile salt.Absorption of 1,3‐diolein from bile salt emulsion was greater and acylation to triglyceride was observed.Diglycerides and triglycerides in small quantity may be absorbed intact from a micellar phase.
