title: Quantitative evaluation of the fetal fatty acid synthesis in the rat.
abstract: The fetal fatty acid synthesis has been evaluated by 3H2O in vivo incorporation experiments. The results indicate that the fetus synthesizes 0,16 mumoles fatty acids/min/litter. From the results the conclusion can be drawn that the fetus gets fatty acids from the mother and from its own fetal fatty acid synthesis at equal amounts.
