Plasma free fatty acids in fasting vitamin c-deprived guinea pigs
Plasma concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) were measured in normal and scorbutic guinea pigs. In animals deprived of vitamin C for 15 or 25 days, FFA concentrations were higher than normal after a 5-hour fast. Conversely, they were lower than normal after a 29-hour fast. Plasma FFA concentratio...

| Summary: | Plasma concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) were measured in normal and scorbutic guinea pigs. In animals deprived of vitamin C for 15 or 25 days, FFA concentrations were higher than normal after a 5-hour fast. Conversely, they were lower than normal after a 29-hour fast. Plasma FFA concentrations were normal after a 29-hour fast in animals deprived of vitamin C for 25 days, but then given vitamin C at the beginning of the fasting period. |
