Protein absorption in the small intestine involves dipeptides and tripeptides entering epithelial cells, their breakdown into amino acids, and subsequent entry into the hepatic portal system.
La absorción de proteínas en el intestino delgado implica la entrada de dipéptidos y tripéptidos (y aminoácidos) a las células epiteliales, su hidrólisis en aminoácidos y su posterior entrada al sistema portal hepático.

| Back | • Dipeptides and tripeptides enter the intestinal epithelial cells (amino acids may be absorbed directly too). • Inside the cells they are broken down into their amino acids • The amino acids then enter the hepatic portal system |
