Triacylglycerol is digested and absorbed primarily through the action of lipase in the lingual and pancreatic juices. We used a wheat flour-derived lipase inhibitor to inhibit triacylglycerol absorption from the intestinal tract, and studied the effect on serum lipid concentration. Rats were given free access to high fat diets containing the lipase inhibitor at 0 (control), 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2% levels for 3 weeks and their serum triacylglycerol total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were measured at weeks 1, 2, and 3. The measured values were significantly lower in the groups receiving the lipase inhibitor than in the control group. The degree of decrease in these respects was roughly dose-dependent. Additionally, the inhibitor intake raised the fecal lipid excretion and lowered the hepatic cholesterol level. It was, therefore, assumed that the inhibition of lipase in the digestive tract interfered with lipolysis and thereby with cholesterol absorption.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007408	Intestinal Absorption	Uptake of substances through the lining of the INTESTINES.	Absorption, Intestinal
D008049	Lipase	An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.
