Session Objectives Describe the mechanisms of nutrient digestion which precede absorption for all nutrients discussed Compare and contrast carbohydrate and protein handling by the GI tract Compare and contrast the steps needed to process and absorb triglycerides versus fat- soluble vitamins Track the fate (location, metabolic conversions, etc) of a bile salt from the time of synthesis in the liver to the end of a meal. Describe the beneficial features, and challenges, of using micelles or chylomicrons as a tool to facilitate absorption These PPT slides are intended for private use for University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine students ONLY.
