Enteral glucose, absorbed and metabolized, potently enhances mesenteric lymph flow in chow- and high-fat-fed rats

Glucose potently enhances mesenteric lymph flow in chow- and high-fat-fed rats. The magnitude of glucose effect on lymph flow is no different in chow- and high-fat-fed rats. Glucose must be absorbed and metabolized to enhance lymph flow and mobilize intestinal lipid.
