Abstract:
It is found that the liver skeletal muscle and brain utilize free malonic acid in lipogenesis reactions with different rate. It is shown that the inclusion of malonic acid to lipid biosynthesis is connected with its decarboxylation by the first carbon atom, with the next condensation of the formed intermediate with coenzyme A and further transformations of acetyl-coenzyme A.
