Chylomicrons accumulate in lacteals after a fat rich diet
Explanation:
- The food we eat goes through many organs of the body, including the mouth, esophagus, and stomach, where it is digested.
- However, when this digested food travels from the stomach to the intestine, food absorption occurs simultaneously with digestion. The nutrients which are absorbed are accumulated in the form of structure known as chylomicrons.
- A chylomicron is a droplet of glycerol formed in the intestine after fats are digested They are composed of lipoproteins with triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins that help transport lipids through the bloodstream to various parts of the organ.
- Chylomicrons are derived from epithelial cells in the intestine and are released into lacteal cells from where chylomicrons transfer lipids to skeletal cells, cardiac cells and adipose tissue. Their triglyceride components are hydrolyzed by the lipoprotein lipase, which releases free fatty acids for tissue absorption.
- Upon hydrolysis of a large portion of the triglyceride core, chylomicron residues are formed and are absorbed by the liver, which transfers the dietary fats to the liver.
