Dietary fat absorption in the intestine consists of multiple steps, including absorption into enterocytes and intracellular assembly of chylomicrons, chylomicron transport and exit from the enterocytes, movement across the lamina propria, entry into lacteals, and regulated transport in intestinal lymphatics. This review draws attention to postassembly regulation of chylomicron secretion that may present opportunities for improving health. Brief Overview of Dietary Fat Absorption, Chylomicron Biosynthesis, and Secretion Dietary TG digestion starts with TG hydrolysis by lingual lipase in the mouth. In the stomach, gastric lipase and lingual lipase both contribute to TG hydrolysis, especially in the digestion of milk fat in newborns. 8,9 Pancreatic lipase is the major enzyme to catalyze TG hydrolysis in the small
