Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are absorbed directly from the small intestine into the portal circulation without the need for modification, while long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) require emulsification with bile acids and the formation of mixed micelles to be absorbed. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and cholesterol are not triglycerides and can be metabolized and modified as they pass through the intestinal mucosa.
