Abstract
Summary
The Ehrlich ascites cell system was employed as an experimental model to investigate the effects of CPIB on FFA utilization. Addition of CPIB to the incubation medium increased FFA uptake by the cells. Incorporation of FFA into cell lipid esters also was greater when CPIB was present. We suggest that the CPIB-induced enhancement in FFA utilization may result from displacement of some FFA to weaker albumin binding sites, thereby making the FFA more available to the cells.
