yes, glycerol can be absorbed directly into the blood cells as it has been broken down by the peptidase in the small intestine. It takes three processes till it can reach this point the first process is it is broken down by the enzyemes, next it is broken down in the pancreas by the trpsin and finally it is broken down in the peptidase which is the last process making the food the correct size to enter the blood stream
