Very-long-chain fatty acids triacylglycerol synthesis

The very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids synthesized from radioactive oleoyl-CoA or malonyl-CoA were readily incorporated into the major intermediates of the Kennedypathway, i.e. phosphatidic acids and diacylglycerols. Concomitantly the synthesis of triacylglycerols containing very long chain acyl moieties occurred, which is consistent with the operation of the Kennedy pathway.
