Abstract
The isotope technique has proved very useful in the study of the synthetic processes in both animals and plants. The formation of lipids in animals has been studied particularly with deuterium as the tracing isotope. By this means it was demonstrated that a very rapid turnover of the fatty acids takes place in animals, particularly in organs like the liver and intestine. These and similar results led Schoenheimer to formulate the fundamental principle of the “dynamic state of body constituents.”
