Lymphatic lipid transport: sewer or subway?
چکیده انگلیسی

The lymphatics began receiving attention in the scientific community as early as 1622, when Gasparo Aselli noted the appearance of milky-white vessels in the mesentery of a well-fed dog. Since this time, the lymphatic system has been historically regarded as the sewer of the vasculature, passively draining fluid and proteins from the interstitial spaces (along with lipid from the gut) into the blood. Recent reports, however, suggest that the lymphatic role in lipid transport is an active and intricate process, and that when lymphatic function is compromised, there are systemic consequences to lipid metabolism and transport. This review highlights these recent findings, and suggests future directions for understanding the interplay between lymphatic and lipid biology in health and disease.
