Abstract:
:The recognition of chylomicrons as dietary lipid transporters dates back to more than 70 years and marks a milestone in lipoprotein history. Conventionally, three phases constitute the process of absorption of exogenous fat: intraluminal, intestinal, and delivery. The intraluminal phase includes chemical hydrolysis by lipolytic enzymes and the micellar solubilization of lipolytic products by bile acids. The intestinal phase comprises the diffusion of micelles through the unstirred water layer, passive diffusion across the microvillous membrane of the enterocyte, and the formation of lipid-carrying lipoproteins. The delivery phase involves the exocytosis of chylomicrons from the absorptive cells and their subsequent removal by lymphatic structures and the systemic circulation. The precise steps and factors involved in all phases of chylomicron synthesis are not yet known, but both experimental and clinical studies have been helpful. Of the inborn metabolic disorders, the prerequisite function of apolipoprotein (apo B) for the assembly and release of lipoprotein particles stood out. Moreover, evidence emerged that the enterocyte produces apo B-100 in addition to apo B-48. Calcium and essential fatty acid status originates as determinants for triglyceride-rich particle synthesis. Furthermore, the developmental changes and regulatory factors of lipoprotein elaboration represent excellent tools in the study of the intracellular mechanisms of lipid transport.
