Study of Lymph Lipids Following Administration of Oleic-1-C 14 Acid with or without Cholesterol. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Oleic-1-C¹⁴ acid and a mixture of this acid with cholesterol were administered to rats with lymph cannulae. Chromatographic separation of lymph lipids in both cases revealed that the effect of cholesterol was to decrease the proportion of triglyceride and increase those of sterol ester and phospholipid. Chromatographic separation of fatty acids of lipids from the latter case revealed that although glyceride fatty acid distribution was similar to that of fed acids, both the sterol ester and phospholipid fatty acids were diluted with endogenous oleic, linoleic and stearic acids.
