The fatty acid composition of chylomicrons of chyle and serum following the ingestion of different oils

Abstract

Chylomicrons were isolated from the thoracic duct chyle and from the blood serum of rats, and from the serum of human subjects following the ingestion of different natural oils. The fatty acid composition of the chylomicrons was compared with that of the dietary fat by gas chromatography and was found to be very similar.
