Abstract
The distribution of radioactivity from intravenously administered cis‐9‐[1‐14C]octadecenol into various tissues of the rat was studied as a function of time. The pattern of incorporation of radioactivity into alkyl, alk‐1‐enyl and acyl moieties of the lipids in heart, lungs, liver, intestine, kidney, brain and plasma revealed that oxidation of the long‐chain alcohol and esterification of the resulting fatty acid to a wide variety of lipids are by far the most predominant reactions. Acylation of the long‐chain alcohol is observed especially in liver, which appears to be the major site of biosynthesis of wax esters. Alkylation of the long‐chain alcohol to alkoxylipids occurs in most tissues, most predominantly in the heart.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
