The metabolic fates of dietary tricaprylin, trimyristin, tripalmitin, triolein, and trilinolein at the 15% level were followed with tracer doses of the corresponding C 14 ‐labeled acids. Distribution of the label in respiratory C 14 O 2 and in fatty acids of adipose tissue and liver lipids as well as the fatty acid composition of these unfractionated tissue lipids led to the following conclusions: Tissue fatty acid compositional homeostasis is limited mainly by the degrees to which dietary fatty acids can be converted to endogenous fatty acids. Other factors, such as their effects on lipogenesis and the relative degrees to which they are catabolized and stored, also play roles.
