Lipids entering the gastrointestinal tract include dietary lipids (triacylglycerols, cholesteryl
esters and phospholipids) and endogenous lipids from bile (phospholipids and cholesterol) …

Lipids are a fundamental class of organic molecules implicated in a wide range of biological
processes related to their structural diversity, and based on this can be broadly classified …

The composition of the gut microbiota and excessive ingestion of high‐fat diets (HFD) are
considered to be important factors for development of obesity. In this review we describe a …

CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36) is a scavenger receptor that functions in high-affinity
tissue uptake of long-chain fatty acids (FAs) and contributes under excessive fat supply to …

Recent data suggest that dietary fat promotes intestinal absorption of lipopolysaccharides
(LPS) from the gut microflora, which might contribute to various inflammatory disorders. The …

Carotenoids exert a rich variety of physiological functions in mammals and are beneficial for
human health. These lipids are acquired from the diet and metabolized to apocarotenoids …

Vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in most develo** countries, especially in
children and pregnant women. It is thus a priority in health policy to improve preformed …

Intestinal lipid transport plays a central role in fat homeostasis. Here we review the pathways
regulating intestinal absorption and delivery of dietary and biliary lipid substrates, principally …

The human microbiota consists of 100 trillion microorganisms that provide important
metabolic and biological functions benefiting the host. However, the presence in host …

Sucrose, the primary circulating sugar in plants, contains equal amounts of fructose and
glucose. The latter is the predominant circulating sugar in animals and thus the primary fuel …
