Abstract

The availability of medium-chain fatty acids as substrates for triacylglycerol synthesis was studied in cultured and suspended rat adipocytes and in pieces of human adipose tissue. Octanoate was virtually excluded from glycerol 3-phosphate esterification while serving as a substrate for diacylglycerol esterification. This specificity was similar to that of cultured rat hepatocytes.
