Abstract

Adipose tissue and liver slices of the carp and rat were in vitro incubated in media containing labeled plamitic acid. The lipid fractions were separated by thin layer chromatography, and their radioactivity was determined. Triglyceride synthesis took place in each tissue. Its intensity had similar order of magnitude in the liver slices of the two species. On the other hand the synthesis was fifty times lower in the adipose tissue of the carp than in that of the rat under the experimental conditions. For interpretation we are restricted to hypothesis. The diglycerides showed in each tissue a radioactivity of the same order of magnitude to that of the triglycerides. Probably besides the diglycerides, rapidly transformed to triglycerides, there exists a diglyceride pool of much slower turn over.
