Abstract
Nontransformed human fetal intestinal epithelial cells incorporate high levels of BCFA when they are available and metabolize them in a structure specific manner. These findings imply that specific pathways for handling BCFA are present in the lumen-facing cells of the human fetal GI tract that is exposed to vernix-derived BCFA in late gestation.
