Quantitation of excretion of dolichol and dolichyl phosphate from the rat

Abstract
In order to gain information on the metabolism of dolichol, the rates of excretion of dolichol and doJichyl phosphate were determined in rats maintained on a dolichol-free diet for 10 days. Analysis of fecal samples collected every 49 h yielded mean output values of 9.0 ± 1,4 and 20.7 ± 3,0 μg/rat/day of dolichot and dolichy] phosphate, respectively. Urinary output rates were 0.56 ± 0.12 and 0.50 ± 0.2g μg/rat/ day of dolichol and dolichyt phosphate, respectively. Thus, excretion is one fate of endogenously synthesized dolichoI compounds in the rat.
