Oxidation of Parenterally Administered C14-labeled Tripalmitin Emulsions

Abstract
Recovery of C14 in expired CO2 was observed in rats receiving intraven. injns. of fat emulsion containing tripalmitin in which palmitic acid was labelled with C14. About 50% of the admd. palmitic acid was metabolized in 24 hrs., indicating that emulsified fat introduced directly into the blood stream is available for caloric purposes.
