Occurrence of novel branched-chain fatty acids in Refsum's disease.
Two novel branched-chain fatty acids, which appear to be unsaturated analogs of phytanic acid, have been observed in sera and urine of patients with Refsum's disease. They occur in both phospholipids and neutral lipids, and have been isolated and characterized.
