Abstract
Góransson, G. The metabolism of fatty acids in the rat. VII. Linoleic acid. Acta physiol. scand. 1965. 64. 204–210. –1‐C14‐linoleic acid and H3‐palmitic acid complexed with serum were simultaneously injected into normal rats of two nutritional states and the distribution of radioactivity investigated. It was found that the labeled linoleic acid disappeared more rapidly from the blood than the labeled palmitic acid. At 5 min less linoleic acid than palmitic acid label was recovered from the fasted rats. The distribution of radioactivity between the neutral lipid and phospholipid fractions in the separate tissues from the fasted rats agreed with the fatty acid composition of each fraction. The pattern of radioactivity in the blood phospholipids at 320 min closely resembled that in the liver phospholipids at 5 min.
