Question

Which of the following lipids is absorbed directly in to portal blood with out chylomicron packaging?a,cholesterol esters b,long-chain fatty acid c,medium-chain fatty acids d,phospholipids

Answer 1

The lipid that is absorbed directly into portal blood without chylomicron packaging is **c, medium-chain fatty acids**. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the portal vein, while long-chain fatty acids, cholesterol esters, and phospholipids typically require packaging into chylomicrons for transport.
