Abstract
Summary
1. Gross, microscopic and biochemical observations were made on adipose tissue of rats receiving a diet deficient in Vit. E and rich in long-chain unsaturated fatty acids. 2. A progressive increase was found in the ratio of extractable phospholipids to non-phospholipids. 3. Studies of the uptake of P-32 indicate that the metabolic activity of phospholipids in abnormal adipose tissue is comparable to that in normal adipose tissue.
