Excerpt from The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1917, Vol. 32The Objection may be raised to our conclusion that hydrolysis is a prerequisite to absorption Of fats, viz., that if such is true then palmitic acid should be better utilized than glyceryl palmi tate, when as a matter of fact the opposite is found to be true. It seems to us that there is a simple explanation which brings the hypothesis into harmony with the facts. Fatty acids when fed in large amounts are irritating to the digestive tract, causing the food mass to be discharged slower from the Stomach, prob ably increasing peristalsis, and certainly increasing the volume Of feces. In other words, feeding large amounts Of free fatty acids disturbs the mechanics Of digestion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
