Intestinal absorption of essential fatty acids under physiological and essential fatty acid-deficient conditions

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1997
The adequate supply of essential fatty acids (EFA) to the body depends upon sufficient dietary intake and subsequent efficient intestinal absorption. Lipid malabsorption is not only a leading cause of EFA deficiency (EFAD), but also occurs secondarily to
