Fig. 1 Tubes for the in vivo study of meal fat digestion in healthy volunteers. (A) Gastric and 4-lumen duodenal tubes used with the liquid test meal to collect gastric, postpyloric, and duodenal samples. The same duodenal tube was also used with the solid test meal for the postpyloric collection of gastric contents. (B) Gastric and 2-lumen duodenal tubes used with the solid test meal to collect gastric and duodenal samples.

Fig. 2 Stability of HGL and HPL in the course of in vitro experiments. Samples were collected at various time intervals from the reaction vessel in which the meal was mixed with gastric and pancreatic juices or purified lipases, and the residual lipase activity on tributyrin was measured. The mass concentration in active lipase (μg/mL) was deduced from the known specific activities of HGL and HPL on tributyrin and plotted as a function of time. (A) HGL mixed with the liquid test meal; (B) HGL mixed with the solid test meal; (C) HPL mixed with the liquid test meal; (D) HPL mixed with the solid test meal.

Fig. 3 FFA release as a function of time during in vitro experiments. Samples were collected at various times from the reaction vessel in which the meal was mixed with juices or purified lipases, and the FFA levels were measured by thin-layer chromatography. (A) Liquid test meal mixed with digestive juices or with purified lipases; (B) solid test meal with digestive juices or with purified lipases.
