ASSEMBILES

The objective of the project is to understand the role of the type of fatty acid and of monoglyceride (triglyceride digestion products) on the structure of the assemblies of bile-lipids and on their capacity to solubilize lipophilic micro-constituents, and how these lipophilic structures influence in vitro and in vivo absorption of these compounds.

Mixed assemblages (micellar but also lamellar ...) composed of lipids and bile salts are formed during digestion, and are responsible for the transport of lipids and lipophilic micro-constituents such as A, E, D, K vitamins, carotenoids and sterols. But the determinants of their solubilization capacity (the amount they can incorporate) are not well known.
The aim of the project is to understand the role of the type of fatty acid and of monoglyceride (triglyceride digestion products) on the structure of the assemblies of bile-lipids and on their capacity to solubilize lipophilic micro-constituents, and how these lipophilic structures influence in vitro and in vivo absorption of these compounds.
The comparison of the experimental and modeled results will make it possible to predict the effect of the structure and the type of lipid of the assemblies on the absorption of numerous classes of lipophilic micro-constituents.
