[ $\mathrm{VE}$ 1; Table 6.4]. Micelles provide a mechanism for solubilizing fat-soluble nutrients in the aqueous solution of the intestinal lumen until the nutrients can be brought into contact with and absorbed by the intestinal epithelial cells. Because vitamin D is fat soluble, it is absorbed in the same way as other dietary lipids. Glycerol is one product of lipid digestion that is water soluble and is not included in micelles. Galactose and leucine are absorbed by $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$-dependent cotransport. Although bile acids are a key ingredient of micelles, they are absorbed by a specific $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$-dependent cotransporter in the ileum. Vitamin $B_{12}$ is water soluble; thus, its absorption does not require micelles.
