Table 2.

BCFA uptake (%BCFA; mean ± SEM) into Caco-2 cells’ lipid classes

FA	Diet	Phospholipids (PL)	Diacylglycerols (DAG)	Triacylglycerols (TAG)
iso-14:0	16.8	14.2 ± 1.6 ^a	14.2 ± 2.7 ^a	20.3 ± 1.5 ^a
anteiso-17:0	23.7	27.5 ± 0.4 ^a	21.6 ± 0.6 ^b	28.5 ± 1.0 ^a
iso-18:0	27.2	37.2 ± 0.4 ^a	23.4 ± 0.7 ^b	30.0 ± 1.2 ^c
iso-20:0	32.2	19.8 ± 1.7 ^a	38.5 ± 0.8 ^b	20.5 ± 1.0 ^a

Cells were incubated as described in Table 1. Comparisons were made among individual BCFA across lipid classes (different superscripts (a,b,c,d) indicate a statistically significant difference between lipid classes, p<0.05). For example: anteiso-17:0 was unfavored in diacylglycerol (DAG) fraction compared to phospholipids (PL) and triacylglycerol (TAG). iso-18:0 was favored in PL and iso-20:0 was favored in DAG.
