Four hours after oral administration of uniformly tritiated 2‐hydroxy tetracosanoate, most of the dose was recovered in the lipids of the digestive organs and liver of the rat. In contrast to the unchanged substrate detected in the lipids of the stomach tissue, the radioactivity recovered from the cells of the intestine and from the liver was predominatly in saturated fatty acid moieties of complex lipids and the small per cent of recovered hydroxy tetracosanoate was also incorporated into these lipids.
