Dietary Fat Absorption
- Molecular classification
- Physiological Process
01
Overview
Dietary fat absorption refers to the physiological process by which fats consumed in the diet are digested, absorbed, and transported within the body. This process is essential for energy homeostasis, cellular function, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. It involves emulsification, enzymatic digestion, micelle formation, absorption by enterocytes, re-esterification and chylomicron formation, and finally transport via the lymphatic system.
