Abstract
FAT absorption was studied on a number of patients with various neoplasms. In all cases, after ingestion of iodine-131-labelled triolein dissolved in olive oil, the excretion of the labelled fat and its metabolites was followed by scintillation counting. The rate of absorption into the blood stream, and the state and distribution of the absorbed substances were investigated as follows.
