Abstract excerpt
Dietary fatty acids (FAs) crossing the apical plasma membrane of small intestinal enterocytes are targeted to different metabolic pathways than serum FAs crossing the basolateral membrane. This apparent compartmentalization of FA metabolism in enterocytes was further investigated using a model human enterocyte-like intestinal cell line. [3H]Oleic acid bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added to the apical or...
