Double labeling experiments with [2-3H, U-14C]glycerol were carried out as described in the Materials and Methods section. Decrease of the 3H/14C ratio is indicative of increased contribution of the DHAP pathway to glycerolipid formation. Experiments were carried out in triplicate; the mean deviation was ±5%.
