Upake of plasma lipids by extrahepatic tissues of vitamin A fed rats

The uptake of newly synthesized plasma lipids from intraportally injected palmitate 1(-14)C by heart, kidney and adipose tissues of rats fed 33 mg retinol for 2 days have been studied. The uptake of plasma lipids by adipose tissues and heart was decreased and that by kidney increased in rats fed retinol as compared to the controls.
