Possible Interaction: Lauric Acid and Phosphatidylethanolamine

“The incorporation of [14C]glucose into phosphatidylethanolamine was stimulated severalfold by the addition of ethanolamine and long-chained unsaturated fatty acids, while the addition of lauric acid inhibited the incorporation of radioactivity into phosphatidylethanolamine.”

“ Lauric acid and myristic acid alone inhibited phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis.”

“Capric acid, lauric acid , and erucic acid inhibited both phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine synthesis whereas fatty acids with 16 to 18 carbon atoms were stimulatory or without effect.”
