Component

Transport by the mesenteric lymphatic route

Transport by the mesenteric lymphatic route. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does

Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Tritiated dihydrocapsaicin was mainly absorbed via the portal system and not by a mesenteric lymphangial one, and the radioactivity in portal blood was composed of 85% dihydrocapsaicin and 15% of its metabolite 8-methyl nonanoic acid bound to the albumin fraction, with dihydrocapsaicin-hydrolysing enzyme activity found in jejunal tissue, indicating a partial first-pass effect during absorption.

    Establishes both the route and the first metabolite by direct measurement in portal blood. A 1984 rat study using tritium label rather than mass spectrometry.

    The gut wall snips the molecule in two, and one of the pieces is a small fatty acid that travels on in the blood.
