Studies on the metabolism of free fatty acids of the plasma in non-pregnant female and pregnant rats.
In non-pregnant female and pregnant rats the concentration (0.41 mumoles/ml and 0.49 mumoles/ml), the turnover time (0.6 min and 0.8 min), and the irreversible disposal rate (8 mumoles/min and 7 mumoles/min) of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) were determined. The results indicate that there are no major differences in the metabolism of the plasma FFA between non-pregnant female and pregnant rats.
