[Homeostatic influence of the lipid composition of the chyme and the effect of the correlation of basic lipid classes on the intensity of their absorption in the small intestine].

Experiments on normal unanesthetized polyfistulous dogs kept on a mixed diet were made to study the basal lipid ratios of the duodenal and small intestinal chyme. It was shown that the duodenal and small intestinal chyme underwent homeostasis as regards the basal lipid class at the expense of the adding endogenous lipids to digestive juices. The ratios mentioned did not change substantially as a result of lipid absorption during exposure of the chyme in an isolated part of the intestine. The data obtained suggest that the rate of lipid absorption depends on the lipid profile of the chyme.
