Collection Overview
The advancement of science often depends on its available study models, methods, and/or technologies. There are several models and methods that have been used to study dietary fat absorption, including but not limited to lymph fistula, fecal analysis, everted gut sac, fetal gut, Caco-2 cells, IPEC cells, enteroids, and gut-on-a-chip. The protocols involved in these models and methods are often challenging and may contain unique modifications. The purpose of this method's collection is to share these diverse protocols in the form of video articles with the scientific community. Our ultimate goal is to gain a better understanding of how the digestion and absorption of dietary lipids by the small intestine affects metabolism, cardiovascular health, and abdominal visceral fat accumulation.
