Abstract
AbstractGöransson, G. The incorporation of fatty acids into the Alpha and Beta positions of liver and adipose tissue lipids of the rat. Acta physiol. scand. 1965. 64. 387–391. – Labeled lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, palmitoleic, oleic and linoleic acids were intravenously injected into fasted, male rats and the esterification at the alpha and beta position of glycerol in liver and adipose tissue lipids studied. The fatty acids were rapidly incorporated into both alpha and beta positions of liver and adipose tissue lipids. Each fatty acid was incorporated into the alpha and beta position in proportion to the amount at which that fatty acid normally occurs in each position. Thus the unsaturated fatty acids were mainly esterified at the beta position and the saturated acids at the alpha position.
