title: Effect of undernutrition on lipid metabolism of brain. In vivo incorporation of labelled acetate and palmitate into lipids.
abstract: Albino rats were malnourished from neonatal to weanling stage by increasing the litter size. The in vivo incorporation of (1-(14)C)-acetate, (1-(14)C)-palmitate into the lipid classes was examined in the animals. A stimulated incorporation of the label was observed in total lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, cerebrosides and sulfatides of the brain of malnourished animals compared to controls.
