Abstract
During the last years, the knowledge about the intestinal absorption o f lipids has made great strides. The cloning of several plasma membran e and cytosolic proteins involved in both the uptake and the cellular trafficking of long chain fatty acids allows now to study the molecula r mechanisms of each step. This article briefly describes the recent d ata in this field of research. The direct involvement of long chain fa tty acid in the gene regulation is also discussed.
