RESUMO

Maximal steady-state intestinal absorption rates in unanesthetized rats for triolein, a long-chain triglyceride, and for trioctanoin, a medium-chain triglyceride, are known to differ. Both these lipids are hydrolyzed in the intestinal lumen but the products of hydrolysis are metabolized differently by the mucosal cell. Intraduodenal infusion of trioctanoin was found to reduce steady-state triolein absorption. Luminal lipolysis was shown not to be rate-controlling. High rates of trioctanoin infusion significantly lowered the pH of the luminal aqueous phase and altered the partition of oleic acid between aqueous and oil phases. Two possible mechanisms for the inhibition of triolein uptake are considered. In the intestinal lumen medium chain lipids might have lowered the activity of oleic acid monomers in the aqueous phase and reduced passive diffusion into mucosal cells. Alternatively, competition between long and medium chain fatty acids for some common receptor during transport into the intestinal mucosal cell may have occurred.
