Abstract
The author discusses the absorption of fat from the intestine in connection with fat splitting, soap formation, bile, partition between portal circulation and lymph, and the histology of intestinal mucosa. He reviews evidence that fat traverses the placenta and egg membranes and that the liver is a station in its movements. He also discusses the form in which fat is transported, whether free, phosphorylated, or as an ester of cholesterol.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
