Triglyceride Utilization by Human HeLa and Conjunctiva Cells in Tissue Culture

Abstract
Two types of fat emulsions have been studied in tissue culture of human HeLa and conjunctival cells. Soybean phosphatides or a synthetic material (Pluronic-F68) was used as the emulsifying agent. Cell multiplication was unaffected by the presence of Pluronic-stabilized emulsions and appeared to be somewhat decreased with a 2 per cent phosphatide-stabilized emulsion. Emulsions of glyceryl triolein-1-C14 and glyceryl tripalmitin-1-C14 were converted to C14O2 by both kinds of cells.
