Evaluation of absorption kinetics and bioavailability of palmitic acid and 2-palmitoylglycerol, a metabolite of interesterified fat, radiolabeled with 99m-technetium

Puntos clave

• Palmitic acid exhibits variable absorption kinetics, impacting its bioavailability—from dietary fats to metabolism.
• The study finds that radiolabeled palmitic acid has a distinct metabolic pathway, particularly when interesterified with glycerol.
• Assessment using radiolabeled techniques provides insight into how 99m-technetium reveals absorption behavior in various settings.
• Supports the idea that dietary fats processed through interesterification may influence nutrient metabolism significantly.
