1 Calf arterial tissue incorporated [1‐14C]acetate into fatty acids of triglycerides when incubated under a gas phase of either 95% O2/5% CO2 or 95% N2/5%CO2, but in hypoxia the specific radioactivity of fatty acids was 3–5 times higher. 2 Gas liquid chromatography of the C8–C18:2 fatty acid methyle...
