title: Importance of luminal lecithin in intestinal absorption and transport of lipid in the rat.
abstract: Feeding a gastric test meal, the absorption and transport of fat was studied in control and bile fistula rats with bile salts replaced but with and without egg lecithin supplemented. No evidence was found that luminal lecithin played an important role in the transport of absorbed fat as chylomicrons.
