[Metabolism of fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms].
The paper is concerned with main results of investigations and data available in literature on the metabolism of higher odd-numbered fatty acids significant for elucidating the role of these acids in the animal organism at the neo- and postnatal developmental stages. Special attention is paid to the relation between the metabolism of fatty acids, propionate and phospholipids. Labelled 14C from [2- 14C] propionate is shown to incorporate into choline of the liver and brain phospholipids of the rats aged 21 days (the period of intensive myelinization).
