[HTML][HTML] Intestinal triacylglycerol synthesis in fat absorption and systemic energy metabolism
CLE Yen, DW Nelson, MI Yen - Journal of lipid research, 2015 - ASBMB
The intestine plays a prominent role in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (triglyceride; TAG).
Digested dietary TAG is repackaged in the intestine to form the hydrophobic core of
chylomicrons, which deliver metabolic fuels, essential fatty acids, and other lipid-soluble
nutrients to the peripheral tissues. By controlling the flux of dietary fat into the circulation,
intestinal TAG synthesis can greatly impact systemic metabolism. Genes encoding many of
the enzymes involved in TAG synthesis have been identified. Among TAG synthesis …
