Effect of chain length on rates of uptake of free fatty acids during in vitro incubations of rat adipose tissue

The incorporation into triglycerides of l-14C-labeled saturated free fatty acids (FFA) of different chain lengths (C2–C16) was studied using incubation of rat epididymal fat pads in vitro. The results indicate that the rate at which adipose tissue incorporates FFA is dependent on chain length. With...
