Intestinal lipid absorption

TL;DR: This work has identified several new mechanisms by which lipids are taken up by enterocytes and packaged as chylomicrons for export into the lymphatic system or clarified the actions of mechanisms previously known to participate in these processes.

Mechanisms involved in the intestinal absorption of dietary vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids

TL;DR: The efficiency of vitamin A and carotenoid intestinal absorption is determined by the regulation of a number of proteins involved in the process, including oxygenase and reductase enzymes and the retinol produced is available for absorption via the two pathways described above.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of digestion and absorption of dietary vitamin a

TL;DR: Evidence supports the idea that the cellular uptake and efflux of unesterified retinol by enterocytes is mediated by lipid transporters, but the exact number, identity, and role of these proteins is not known and is an active area of research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absorption, transport, and tissue delivery of vitamin E

TL;DR: This review highlights recent findings that have led to a better understanding of vitamin E transport, including intestinal absorption, hepatic transport, and cellular uptake of alpha-tocopherol in vivo, which may be critical for manipulation ofitamin E homeostasis in a variety of oxidative stress-related disease conditions in humans.

Clearance of chylomicron remnants in normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease: case control study over three years

TL;DR: Normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease had significantly higher concentrations of chylomicron remnants in plasma than normolipIDAemic subjects with normal coronary vessels, which may explain the mechanism underlying the susceptibility to atherosclerosis of coronary arteries patients with normal fasting lipid values.
