A meal rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) would most likely lead to which of the following absorption patterns?

Preferential incorporation into hepatic VLDL particles within the intestinal lumen prior to any enterocyte interaction, and immediate secretion into systemic veins bypassing the lymphatics.

Extensive formation of chylomicrons loaded with intact medium-chain triglyceride molecules that enter lacteals and the lymphatic system because medium chains cannot diffuse into portal blood due to their excessive hydrophobicity.

Rapid hydrolysis and absorption of the resulting short- to medium-chain fatty acids directly into portal blood capillaries, with minimal chylomicron formation and lymphatic transport.

Complete failure of absorption because medium-chain fatty acids require bile salts to form very large micelles that can be endocytosed by hepatocytes in the intestinal lumen itself.
