A comparison of the metabolism of elaidic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids in the rat

A comparison has been made of the metabolism of 1-C¹⁴-labeled oleic, elaidic, palmitic, and stearic acids in the rat. Each acid was fed as a component of randomly rearranged soybean oil. All the acids were more than 96% absorbed. The rate of catabolism and the extent to which elaidic acid was excreted in the respiratory CO₂ were essentially the same as those of oleic acid and both of these acids were similar to palmitic acid. Oleic, elaidic, and palmitic acids were catabolized to CO₂ to a greater extent than was stearic acid. Elaidic acid seemed to be incorporated into the lymph phospholipids to a slightly greater extent than was oleic acid during the peak of absorption; otherwise, elaidic acid was similar to oleic acid in its absorption and distribution among the lymph lipids. Stearic acid was incorporated into the lymph phospholipids to a considerably greater degree (8%) than were the other acids (2-3%). The major transport of each fatty acid was via the lymph glycerides, being 90% for stearic acid and 97% for the other acids.
