Regio-distribution of stearic acid is not conserved in chylomicrons after ingestion of randomised, stearic acid-rich fat in a single meal.

Stearic acid from conventional food is well absorbed, but the fate of synthetic randomized stearic acid in fat absorption and subsequent metabolism is unclear. In this study, we examined the postprandial triglyceridemia following an ingestion of randomized stearic acid-rich fat. Following a 12-h fast, nine healthy young males ate a hamburger meal with 16.
