This is the probable reason for the accumulation of free fatty acids and lysolecithin at high concentrations.
On the one hand, emulsifiers (lysophospholipids, lysolecithin, bile salts, or sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate) were used to increase the lipid digestibility because they increased the active surface of lipid droplets and promote incorporation of fatty acids into micelles [7,11,12].
One model used the ingested toxin cuprizone and the other used injected lysolecithin to achieve demyelination of CNS neurons and spinal nerve axons, respectively.

This decrease may be due to enhanced activity of LCAT (Lysolecithin Acyl Transferase) which also causes hypertriglyceridemia.
Drugs such as cuprizone and lysolecithin are frequently used to model multiple sclerosis [9], as these agents elicit partial demyelination when injected at specific sites in the spinal cord.
Regurgitation of duodenal contents, including alkaline pancreatic-duodenal secretions, bile salts, and lysolecithin into the gastric cavity may disrupt the gastric mucosa barrier and damage the mucosa epithelium.[sup][15] Excessive DGR results in accelerated regeneration of epithelium with histological appearance of foveolar hyperplasia and expansion of the smooth muscle fiber in the mucosa.[sup][16],[17] Patients with DGR had higher intensity of gastric mucosal inflammation.[sup][18],[19],[20] Matsuhisa and Tsukui also showed that high concentrations of bile acids were shown to have an effect on the progression of intestinal metaplasia in H.
The term "phospholipase B" was first described by Contardi and Ercoli (1) in 1933 as lecithase B, which attacked an acyl--ester bond of lysolecithin and produced one mole each of fatty acid and glycerophosphocholine (GPC).
