Deuterium as an indicator in fat metabolism


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT IT has hitherto not been a simple matter to determine whether the fatty acids in lipines such as lecithin, which are constituents of all active animal cells, play a part in the


normal metabolism of fats. One reason for this is that suitable methods for ‘labelling’ fats which could be administered in the diet and then traced in the body have not been available. With


the advent of deuterium a method for marking fats and using them in this way has become possible. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
