Abstract
The importance of the steric configuration of lysophosphatidylcholine in the lymphatic transport of fat was investigated in bile fistula rats. It was found that the feeding of 1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine increased the lymphatic output of phosphatidyl choline and triacylglycerol, while the feeding of 3-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphocholine had no effect. In intestinal microsomes of the bile fistula rats, it was found that the lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase was stereospecific in acylating the 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine enantiomer. The significance of these findings is briefly discussed.Entities:
