The absorption of methyl linoleate hydroperoxides (MLHPs) in rabbit was investigated. After oral administration of 700 mg of MLHPs, lymph was collected continuously from the thoracic duct for 2.5 h. The lipids in the collected lymph were extracted and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography.
The data showed that 0.23% of the dosed MLHPs were contained in the lymph as intact MLHPs. This result indicates that some unchanged hydroperoxides are absorbed into intestinal wall and transported to some organs through lymph.
