FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS BY SUBCELLULAR FRACTIONS OF LUNG TISSUE.
The mitochondria-rich fraction of the lung tissue is the most active subcellular fraction for the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids. This observation is contrary to what has been reported for the subcellular fractions of the liver. The high rate of fatty acid synthesis observed with the mitochondria-rich fraction of the lung may be related to the morphological transformation of mitochondria.
