Novel method to administer radiolabeled lipid to juvenile oysters

Summary: | Abstract Particles prepared from egg yolk were shown to encapsulate protein and to be in a size range that would be filtered by the oyster. A radiotracer study involving the addition of radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine to egg yolk demonstrated that the egg yolk particles were taken up and metabolized by juvenile oysters ( Crassostrea gigas ). Catabolism of the radiolabeled lipid and subsequent resynthesis into nonālipid components occurred to a slight extent. The main factor responsible for the distribution of radioactivity amongst the lipids in the stomach tissue was believed to be transacylation. |
