Triglyceride Absorption (Intestinal) (N/A)

Target: N/A
Molecular classification: Physiological process, Metabolic pathway

Overview

Triglyceride absorption in the intestine is a multi-step physiological process by which dietary triglycerides (TGs) are digested, absorbed, and transported from the intestinal lumen into the body. This process is essential for energy homeostasis and involves several key enzymes, transporters, and cellular mechanisms. The primary function of intestinal triglyceride absorption is to enable the uptake of dietary fats—mainly triglycerides—which serve as a major energy source for the body.
