The question of biohydrogenation of fatty acids*

Rats were fed methyl palmitoleate-1-C14 and the palmitic acid was isolated from their organs and depot fat. Degradation studies revealed that very little activity found its way into the palmitic acid by hydrogenation of the palmitoleate. The major route of carbon from the unsaturated to the saturate...
