In the experiments on fntty acid biosynthesis in vivo with mice given whole-body irradiation of 600 R using acetate- 1/sup 14/C, the amounts of /sup 14/ CO/sub 2/ exhaled, specific activity of total lipids, and activities of each fatty acid fraction of the liver were studied. It was found that at early stage after irradiation the majority of acetate was utilized in oxidation and the part used in the biosynthesis was less in the irradiated animals than in controls. In these irradiated animals the biosynthesis of palmitoleic acid and stearic acid was relatively inhibited. (auth)
