| Popis: | The effect of 48 h maternal starvation on the composition of fetal rabbit brown and white adipose tissue was examined. Compared with fed control rabbits, adipose tissue triglyceride fatty acids took on a composition more like that of maternal plasma free fatty acids (FFA), whose concentration more than doubled after 48 h starvation. It is concluded that maternal FFA contribution to the fetal lipids increases during starvation and certain fetal fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid, may in the fed state be derived from maternal lipids other than the FFA. |
