Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids in healthy subjects [PDF]
Background/Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid ( UDCA) decreases biliary secretion of cholesterol and is therefore used for the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.

Dietary lipid absorption is dependent on chylomicron production whose rate-limiting step across the intestinal absorptive cell is the exit of chylomicrons from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in its ER-to-Golgi transport vesicle, the prechylomicron ...

Dietary sphingomyelin lowers hepatic lipid levels and inhibits intestinal cholesterol absorption in high-fat-fed mice. [PDF]
Controlling intestinal lipid absorption is an important strategy for maintaining lipid homeostasis. Accumulation of lipids in the liver is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

The Absorption of Phosphonium Cations and Dications into a Hydrated POPC Phospholipid Bilayer: a Computational Study [PDF]
Molecular dynamics (MD) based on an empirical force field is applied to investigate the effect of phosphonium cations ([P 6,6,6,6 ] + ) and geminal dications ([DxC10] 2+ ) inserted at T = 300 K into the hydration layer separating planar POPC phospholipid

Estimation of flattening coefficient for absorption and circular dichroism using simulation [PDF]
The absorbance and circular dichroism (CD) of suspensions is lower than if the same amount of chromophore were uniformly distributed throughout the medium. Several mathematical treatments of this absorption flattening phenomenon have been presented using

Intracellular movement of triacylglycerols in the intestine
The intestine can vary its triacylglycerol output rate depending on differing physiological conditions. The rate-limiting step in the complex process from fatty acid and monoacylglycerol entry to triacylglycerol export is unknown but suggested to be the ...

A new in vitro lipid digestion - in vivo absorption model to evaluate the mechanisms of drug absorption from lipid-based formulations [PDF]
Purpose: In vitro lipid digestion models are commonly used to screen lipid-based formulations (LBF), but in vitro-in vivo correlations are in some cases unsuccessful.

Clock is important for food and circadian regulation of macronutrient absorption in mice
Clock genes respond to external stimuli and exhibit circadian rhythms. This study investigated the expression of clock genes in the small intestine and their contribution in the regulation of nutrient absorption by enterocytes.

Mécanisme d’absorption intestinale des acides gras à longue chaîne : rôle émergent du CD36
Excessive lipid intake, associated with a qualitative imbalance, favors the development of obesity and associated diseases. From organs involved in the lipid homeostasis, the small intestine remains the most poorly known although it is responsible for ...

Sec24C is required for docking the prechylomicron transport vesicle with the Golgi
The rate-limiting step in the transit of dietary fat across the intestinal absorptive cell is its exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a specialized ER-to-Golgi transport vesicle, the prechylomicron transport vesicle (PCTV).
