Partition of fatty acids.

R B Simpson, J D Ashbrook, E C Santos

    Journal of Lipid Research
    |July 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study measured radioactive fatty acid partition ratios, finding minimal association in physiological buffers. Deviations suggest impurities, not significant fatty acid aggregation, under normal conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Physical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Fatty acids are crucial biological molecules.
    • Understanding their behavior in physiological conditions is vital.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine partition ratios of various fatty acids between n-heptane and physiological buffer.
    • To investigate fatty acid association in aqueous solutions at physiological temperatures.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurement of partition ratios for saturated (C10-C18) and unsaturated fatty acids.
    • Determination of partition ratios across a range of pH values.
    • Analysis of partition ratio versus aqueous concentration plots.

    Main Results:

    • Partition ratios generally indicated minimal aqueous phase association.
    • Inconsistencies observed for C16 and C18 fatty acids could not be fully explained by aggregation.
    • Purification of [1-(14)C]myristate significantly altered its partition ratio, suggesting impurity effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Fatty acid association in aqueous solutions under physiological conditions appears negligible.
    • Radioactive impurities in labeled fatty acids can significantly impact partition ratio measurements.
    • Further purification methods are recommended for accurate fatty acid behavior studies.
