Metabolic fate of 14C‐labelled triglycerol and decaglycerol (according to Michael and Coots, 1971)
| Labelled compound | % of recovered radioactivity (means) | Absorption in %a | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO2 | Urine | Faeces | GI content | Carcass | ||
| Triglycerol | 2.1 | 88.3 | 5.5 | 2.9 | 1.2 | 91.6 |
| Decaglycerol | 4.2 | 34.1 | 23.9 | 35.2 | 2.5 | 40.8 |
GI: gastrointestinal.
