A, live hours after a meal of olive oil; B, three hours later. It should be noticed that the fat globules first formed grow in size in the course of digestion, pointing to a gradual deposition of fat on the globules from solution in the protoplasm. and that of carbohydrates and proteins, and that they are all alike absorbed in a state of solution. If fatty acids are administered to an animal they are absorbed, but appear in the chyle as neutral fat, showing that a synthesis of the fatty acid and glycerin has taken place on the passage of the fatty acid from the intestine to the lacteal through the epithelium. In the same way, soaps taken with the food appear in the chyle as neutral fats, and in both cases the assimilation is improved by the addition of the necessary amount of glycerin. We may conclude that the formation of an emulsion in the intestine is not the end of the digestive.
