Abstract
Erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from fresh blood and from blood stored at 4°. When the erythrocyte membranes were incubated with radioactive linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and palmitoyl coenzyme A an incorporation of the fatty acid in the lecithins were observed. This incorporation was greater with palmitoyl coenzyme A than with palmitic acid as substrate. After 2 weeks of storage the incorporation of fatty acids increased and then decreased up to the initial level after 6 weeks of storage. By addition of progesterone in the collected blood the initial incorporation of fatty acids in lecithins was increased and remained slightly constant during the storage.
