O. Sureda et al., EFFECT OF CAFETERIA DIET ON INTESTINAL-ABSORPTION OF PALMITIC ACID INRATS, Journal of nutritional biochemistry, 6(3), 1995, pp. 151-154
The effect of a hypercaloric cafeteria diet an the accumulative abilit
y of small intestine palmitic acid transport in female Wistar rats was
studied using everted intestinal slices. Cafeteria diet decreased jej
unal and ileal absorption of palmitic acid per intestinal mass after o
besity had developed. A link between gastrointestinal functions, feedi
ng behavior, and the development of obesity induced by cafeteria diet
is suggested.
