Palmitic acid incorporation into intramuscular acylglycerols depends on both total and unbound to albumin palmitic acid concentration.
2003
Palmitic acid incorporation into the intramuscular acylglycerols in rat skeletal muscles of different fiber types was investigated at various total and unbound to albumin concentrations by means of the hind-limb perfusion technique. It was found that at simultaneously increasing total and unbound to albumin palmitic acid concentrations in the perfusion medium the incorporation of palmitic acid into acylglycerols increased. However, when the concentration of palmitic acid not bound to albumin was kept constant and the total palmitic acid concentration was increased, the incorporation also increased although markedly less than under former conditions. The increase was most apparent in the muscles composed of slow-twitch oxidative and fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers where fatty acid uptake is the greatest. These findings suggest that fatty acid incorporation into intramuscular acylglycerols depends not only on the unbound to albumin fatty acid concentration but also, to some extent, on the total fatt...
