  • Title: The incorporation of acetate-1-C14 into cholesterol and fatty acids by surviving tissues of normal and scorbutic guinea pigs.
    Author: BOLKER HI, FISHMAN S, HEARD RD, O'DONNELL VJ, WEBB JL, WILLIS GC.
    Journal: J Exp Med; 1956 Feb 01; 103(2):199-205. PubMed ID: 13286427.
    Abstract:
    The synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids from acetate-l-C(14) by the isolated liver, adrenal, and aorta of scorbutic and pair-fed control guinea pigs has been studied. It was found that ascorbic acid deficiency does not affect the rate of incorporation of C(14)-acetate into cholesterol and fatty acids by the tissues investigated, under our experimental conditions. The relatively high metabolic activity of the artery with regard to cholesterogenesis and lipogenesis was noted. The elevation of serum cholesterol and hexosamine in scurvy has been confirmed.
