Effects of an i. v. injection of ethyl palmitate emulsion on nucleic acids and fat content of the liver.
In experiments with rats "chemically" splenectomized by an i.v. ethyl palmitate injection the possible side effects on the liver were followed. In the liver proteins, DNA, RNA, esterified fatty acids, and in blood serum transaminases were assessed. In all examinations the variances were only temporary and could be characterized as manifestations of a metabolic load rather than actual liver damage.
