"Triglycerides are broken down to free fatty acids and monoglyceride by lipase. Bile salts bind to lipids which help transport them in the small intestine. In the small intestine colipase help expose lipids to lipase for further breakdown to micelles. These small lipids can now enter the apical membrane of the small intestine and form chylomicron which then are released into the lymphatic system or small lipids can enter the circulatory system."

Levels of ghrelin, a hormone produced by P/D1 cells, lining the fundic region of the stomach, rise before meals to initiate hunger and decline shortly after eating to curb appetite. Ghrelin is also antagonistic to leptin, a fat-tissue-derived hormone that induces satiety. Another hormone from the stomach and small intestine, obestatin, decreases appetite. The same gene encodes both ghrelin and obestatin.
