Interactions Among Macronutrients and Their Effect on Lypolisis

The digestion and absorption of dietary lipids is a very complex mechanism involving insoluble substances, neutral and amphiphilic lipids, and different lipases that act in the stomach and small intestine [2]. Therefore, the intestinal absorption of the products of lipolysis (mainly free fatty acids), as well as free cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins, enormously depends on the efficiency of the sequential action of lipolytic enzymes on the different substrates.
