Abstract
Prefeeding of alcohol shows the in vivo incorporation of orally administered palmitic acid into phosphatidylcholine of the lung. This impairment is also demonstrable in vitro utilizing lung slices and 14C-labeled palmitate or cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine as precursors. It is concluded that alcohol ingestion affects the utilization of precursors needed for phospholipid formation in the lung.Entities:
