Abstract
Control mice injected with tritium labelled palmitic acid incorporated radioactivity into dipalmitoyl lecithin in their lungs within 30 seconds. The labelling disappeared with a mean half-life of approximately 15 hours. Treatment with paraquat apparently affected neither the amount of dipalmitoyl lecithin present nor its rate of destruction.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
