Background and Aims: Secretion and transport of intestinal chylomicrons (CM) via lymphatics to the blood circulation is stimulated primarily by fat ingestion, whereas several other factors have also been shown to play important roles in regulating CM secretion rate. Amongst these factors, active regulation of lymphatic pumping has not been appreciated to date. The gut peptide and intestinal growth factor GLP-2 has emerged as a robust enhancer of intestinal lipid mobilization and…
