Funded Activity Summary

A clear understanding of the mechanisms by which orally ingested materials are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract is critical in areas such as nutrition, drug development and toxicology. The current project aims to evaluate the role of specific receptor types in the intestine in the absorption of both dietary lipids and drug molecules, with a view to providing a means to better regulate lipid absorption and to more effectively facilitate the design of improved drug delivery systems.
