Quantitative evaluation of the fetal fatty acid oxidation in the rat
Acta Biologica Et Medica Germanica
|January 1, 1978
Abstract:
The fetal fatty acid oxidation has been measured by [14C]-palmitate in vitro oxidation experiments. The fetal fatty acid oxidation was determined to be 0.12 +/- 0.03 mumoles fatty acids/min/litter. The conclusion can be drawn that approximately equal amounts of fetal fatty acids are synthesized, oxidized and transferred from the mother to the fetus.
