De novo synthesis and elongation of fatty acids by subcellular fractions of monkey aorta

Subcellular fractions of aorta of squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) were examined for their ability to synthesize and elongate fatty acids. High-speed supernate (HSS) incorporated substantial quantities of malonyl CoA into fatty acids while acetyl CoA was much less effectively utilized. Acetyl-CoA...
