“Results: Stearic acid was increased significantly in platelet phospholipids on diet S (by 22%), while on diet P palmitic acid levels in platelet phospholipids also increased significantly (8%).”

“There were decreases in the percentages of stearic acid in plasma phospholipids (from 17.0% to 15.0%) and cholesteryl esters (from 1.2% to 1.0%; both p less than 0.001).”

“The fatty acid profile of the triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, and phospholipids showed abnormally high concentrations of stearic acid and increased stearic acid-oleic acid ratios.”
“In the muscle tissue, the presence of a large proportion of phospholipids resulted in a higher percentage of stearic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids of the (n-6) family (linoleic, dihomo-gamma-linolenic and arachidonic acids).”

“The stearic acid infusion induced a decrease of stearic acid quantity in phospholipids and a corresponding increase in oleic acid in phospholipids and cholesteryl ester.”
“This indicates that preferential incorporation of stearic acid into phospholipids is not limited to incorporation during absorption from the intestines into lymph.”
