Abstract
Summary
The changes in the acetal phosphatide, phospholipid and total lipids have been followed in the adipose tissues and livers of newborn rats over the first 3 weeks of life. As the adipose tissue fills with fat, the acetal phosphatide and total phospholipid, initially quite elevated, decrease rapidly to only trace amounts by the fifth to eighth day of life. These results indicate that acetal phosphatides and phospholipids are involved in some manner in the laying down of fat in adipose tissue.
