I. INTRODUCTIO:¥
Recently there has been remarkable progress in the entire field of clinical
medicine. One of the contributing factors has been the improvement in nutritional
methods. Especially in surgery, consideration should be given to positive nutritional
supplements, because in most cases, patients cannot take oral!~- enough nutriments
prior to and after surgical operations; beside日 surgicaltreatments inevitably accele-
rate the catabolic p1川 C日 ofmetabolism. In this case, most convenient is an intra-
venous supplement of nutriments such as glucose, amino acids, salts, vitamins, etc.
This method is currently in a practicable stage. However, intravenous administration
of fats still remains a very di出cultproblem. At our laboratory, the necessity for
parenteral administration of fats for supplementai‘v nutrition was earl)’ recognized,
and e汀ortshave been made to solve this problem. If fat勺 substancesare to be
administered intravenousb' at all, it is necessary that ample thought should be ac-
corded to the qualitative composition of fats --above all their acid components-
which a1℃ infused intravenous!¥・. The reason is this: in the digestive tract, some of
the fats which are orall>' taken, are in the non-h~·drob·zed form (triglycerides), some
in the partial!>・ hydrol>・zecl form (diglycerides & monoglycerides), and some in the
form of isolated free fatty acids, ancl th町 arereduced to corpuscles less than 0.5 11
in diameter lηbile salts and can be ail州 rbcdthrough the intestinal mucous mem-
brane. This absorption process is regulated lJ:, the species of fatt>’ acids as to whether
they are absorbed direct!>・ into the portal blood or into the lymph of the thoracic
duct. The results of indirect examinations lηv isotopes IJy BwoM et al. indicate
that higher fatty acids can be absorbed mostlJア intothe b・mph of the thoracic duct,
while lower ones are absorbed into the portal blood. 人ccordingly, if we are to
infuse fattJア substancesdirectly into cutaneous veins, glyceride emulsions consisting
of higher fatty acids which are apt to be absorbed into thoracic duct lymph should
be inf・LI日cdinto cutaneous veins. This is because direct infusion of fat emulsion into
the portal ¥'ein cannot be considered.
In the abo,・e-mcntioncd experiments Iηv BwoM ct al. ,・ariou日 C''-labeled fatt)’
acids were u同 d,and the use of their radioactivit>・ enabled them to observe the
tran日portpathway of aiJ河川町lfatty acids. This is, so to speak, an indirect obser-
vation method. It is not l>y direct expじrimcntalvcri白cationthat lower fatty acids

could actually he absorbed into the portal blood. i:yc11 if it is an admitted fact that
lower fatty acids arc absorbed through the intestinal mucり~!s membrane, it is IJ~・ no
means incor.ccivablc that th町’ mayundergo direct absorption into the portal vein in
yiew of the fact that almost all of them will not k、absot・bed into thoracic duct
] ~·mph. The author intended to Yeri1下experimentallythe allegations by BwoM et
al. just by applying paper chromatograph~・ of fatt~’ acids, especially to determine
whether or not influx into the portal vein of lower fatty acids ever takes place.
It is theoretically the best method of supplementing fatt)ナ substancesto selectively
administer a triglyceride emulsion consisting of the commonest fatty acids which are
always found in animal organs or d句otfats. In this sense, the author resorted to
paper chromatographγof fatty acids with regard to the stud~’ of component fatty
acids in each organ or depot fats.
II. M人TERL¥LSAND METHODS
人. Experimental Materials
1)¥ Fat emulsions: 20 % sesame oil emulsion and 20 /o cod liver oil emulsion
were used. These contain 7 % glucose each. 2) Natural fats: Natural butter fat, cod livこroil, sesame oil, etc. 'γere used.
3) S~'nthesized simple glycerides: Tricaproin, tricaprylin, tricaprin, trilaurin, triolein, etc. were used.
4) Experimental animals : Healthy adult dogs weighing about lOkg were used.
In order to maintain as similar conditions as possible, each of them was fed a meas-
ured diet for more than日evendays, and then fasted for 24 hours so that experi-ments could be made in an immediate postabsorptive state.
B. Ex問rimentalMethods
1) Method of collecting chyle As in SttIROTANI’s method with cats, an incision approximately 6cm long was
made in the left supraclavicular fossa of an anesthetized clog. Then, ample exposure
of the ascending thoracic duct along the inside of the left jugular vein was made
and complete prevention of thoracic duct l>・mph influx into the blood was achieved
(Fig. 1). Next, a polycthγ!enc tube was inserted into the thoracic duct, and dripping
lymph was collected in a pre-arranged collecting flask. Subsequent to this, the
above-mentioned test fats ¥Vere administered into the stomach by stomach tube and
chyle, now cloud:>ア asa result of fat absorption, was collected in a collecting司ask.
2) Method of collecting chyle ancl rortal blood simultaneously
λ日 shownin Fig. 1, collection of chyle was【loneusing a pol>'ethylene tube
after oral administration of test fats. B>・ this procedure, complete interruption of
chyle flowing into the blood stream could be achieved.λt the same time, collection of
portal blood as it was after two hourぷ lap日 ofintragastric administration of test
fats was done. Chyle and portal blood were collected for fatty acid analysis.
3) Organs
The experimental animals were sacrificed by bleeding and the organs "℃ re
immediately removed, and pulverized finely by marine sand for analysing their

component fatt~, acids.
4) Paper chromatography of fatty acids
Paper chromatography was done by the NonA-HIRAYAMA’method, i.巴.the
development wa日 madeas the p-bromoph巴nacylester 2, 4-dinib可ophen~·lhycfatt~· acids.
(i) Filter paper:“T町ザ’ filterpaper No. 2 was used. A starting line was
penciled 3 cm above the upper border of the surface of the solvent.
(ii) Solvent s;,百tern日: λぉ themoving solvent, methanol『 glacialacetic acid-
petroleum h~·drocarbon (10: 2: 1. 2 by volume) was used and petroleum hydrocarbon
was L!Sed as the stationary solvent.
(iii) Procedure : The paper was spotted with samples an【l¥¥'as uniformly sp-
ra;,アeelwith the stationa1下 solvent,petroleu:m hJ・drocarbon. Then, the chromatogram was developed with the moving solvent by the ascending technique at 30°(司 The
development time required for a satisfactor;,’ separation was 5~6 hours b:-’ this method.
III. RESULTS
I) On the Tram;port Pathway of Absorbed Fats
In order to iclcntil¥・ the transport pathwaγof absorbed fats through the
intestinal mucous membrane, comparison was made between component fatty acids
contained in the test fats which were oralh・ administered to experimental animals and
component fatty acids contained in chJ・le (or portal serum) which "℃ I℃ collected
when the test fats were orally administered.
1) Absorption into thoracic duct
A.¥lALYTIC CHEMIC‘AL STUDIES ON FAT METABOLIS'.¥I 1181
In this experiment, the following materials ¥¥'ere used : cod liver oil emulsion containing a comparativel}’larg℃ amount Gf high !~, unsaturated fatty acids, eicosenoic acid, docosenoic acid, etc., butter fat containing lower fatt:-’ acids, and se悶 meoil .emulsion composed of higher saturated fatty acids, olcic acid, essential fatty acids and containing no lower fattγacids, eicoscnoic acid, docosenoic acid, highly unsaturated fattγacids.
The fatt~’ acids which are contained in the thoracic duct lymph of a dog in a postabsorptive state after 24 hours’fasting, as shown in Fig. 2, were m:-Tistic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. But no lower fatt;.’ acids than lauric acid and highly unsaturated fatty acid日 werefound.
A) Oral administration of cod liver oil emulsion
Ffg. 3 shows the analytic.: results of fatt;.’ acids contained in cod liver oil emulsion (F. I.) and fatt;.・ acids extracted from ch>・lc (L. F. I.) collected when 40g of cod liver oil emulsion was administered by stomach tube.
In cod liver oil emulsion, there are found myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, cicosenoic acid, clocosenoic acid, and high!>’ unsaturated fatt;.’acids. Also in chyle collected when cod liver oil emulsion was orally administered, there were detected various kinds of fatt;.’ acids in the same p~rcentage as the above. It is apparent from this fact that all fatt;.・ acids contained in cod liver oil emulsion could well be absorbed into the thoracic duct.
Especially, it can be clearly seen that docosenoic acid, highly unsaturated fatty acids, eicoscnoic acid, etc. which were not detected in thoracic duct lymph in a postabsorptive state, have been well absorbed into the thoracic duct.
B) Oral administration of butter fat Fig. 4 shows the analytic results of fatt;.・ acids contained in natural butter
fat (B.) and fatty acids extracted from chyle (L. B.) collected after 40g of natural butter fat had been administered orally.
In natural butter fat are found butyric acid, caproic acid, capr~・lic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid. Especial!;.・ notcworth;.・ isthe fact that the percentage of both oleic and palmitic acids is high.
When the fatty acids extracted from chyle collected after natural butter fat had been orall;.• administered were examined by paper chromatography, it was found that fatty acids higher than myristic acid were alw匂’sin almost the same condition as the former, while fatty acids lower than !auric acid gradually showed spots which became thinner and fewer. And spots of fattj’acids lmYer than caproic acid were never seen.
In other words, it is considered that fatty’ acids higher than myristic acid could b巴absorbedinto thoracic duct lymph, but that fatt;ィ acidslower than lauric acid gradual!J’declined in the percentage of absorption into the thoracic duct in proportic川
to the decrease in number of carbon atoms.
C) Oral adminisJ.;ration of se泊 meoil emulsion Fig. 5 shows the analytic results of fatty acids contained in sesame oil
emulsion (F. I.) and fatty acids extracted from chyle (L. F. I.) when 40g of

Sesame oil emulsion contains myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid,
linoleic acid and linolenic acid, especial!>' linoleic acid and oleic acid in large
quantities.
In contrast, various fatt? acid日 extract吋 fromch>'le after oral administration
of se泊 meoil were found in the same percentage as the former.
This indicates clearly that each of these fatty acids in se回 meoil emulsion
could九Nellbe absorbed into the thoracic duct.
Neutralization and iodine value of the component fatty acids contained in the
afore-mentioned three test fats and the component fatt~' acids in chyle collected
during oral administration of these test fats, are shown in Table 1.
According to the results mentioned above, it is roughly presumed that lower
fatty acids graduall~’ decline in percentage of absorption into thoracic duct lymph in proportion to the decrease in number of carbon atoms. To further clarify this
problem, simple gl~·ccrides such a日 tricapr~·lin, tricaprin, and trilaurin were synthe-
sized, and then a simple glyceride mixture containing equal amounts of them were
administered orallγto experimental animals in ordむ1・ to日tudYagain the absorption
of lower fatty acids into thoracic duct lγmph.
D) Oral administration of tricaprylin, tricapr加, andtrilaurin lOg of each of the above simple glycerides was mixed, and 30g of this
mixture was administered by tube into the stomachs of experimental animals.
Fig. 6 shows the anal~·tic results of fatty acids contained in the synthesized
simple g] ~·ceri 〔le mixture (D) and fatt>・ acids extracted from chyle (L.) collected when the above mentioned可 nthesizedsimple glyceride mixture was administered
orally. It is apparent from these results that lower fatty acids such as !auric acid,
capric acid, and caprylic acid gradually decline in their percentage of absorption into
the thoracic duct in proportion to the decrease in number of carbon atoms.
In regard to the absorption of lower fatty acids into the thoracic duct, the
conclusion is that the fewer the carbon atoms, the lower is the absorption ratio.
In short, our direct examinations in which paper chromatography of fatt>’ acids
was used to observe the absorption of fatty acids through the intestinal mucous
membrane when fats were oral !~· administered, ha\℃ gained the same I℃suits as the indirect verification method h>・ CHAIKOFF, REISER, BoLLMAN et al. using isotopes, and
the experiment H’ FERNANDES on a child with ch>・lothorax.
ANALYTIC CHEMICAL STUDIES ON FAT METABOLISM 1183
2) Absorption into the portal vein
From the results mentioned above, the percentage of absorption of lower
fatty acids into thoracic duct lymph is exceedingljァlowas compared with that of higher
fatty acids. However, no reports have yet appeared confirming the direct observation
of the absorption of lower fatty acids into the portal blood during the oral admini-
stration of fats.
The author, therefore, studied the absorption of caprylic acid and caproic acid
into thoracic duct lymph when large amounts of synthesized tricaprylin and tricap-roin were orally administered. In parallel, the author studied also the absorption of such fatty acids into the portal blood.
Fig. 7 shows the analytic results of fatty acids which are alwaγs found in the
portal serum of dogs in the postabsorptive state. The component fatty acids in
portal serum of a dog in postabsorptive state are myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic
acid, oleic acid, eicosenoic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and highl~’ unsaturated
fattv acids. However, the author could detect no fattγacids lower than lauric acid.
A) Oral administration of tricap1下lin
Fig. 8 shows the anal~'tic results of fatty acids extracted from chyle (L.) and
portal serum (B.) collected after oral administration of tricapQァlin. As shown in
Fig. 8, caprylic acid is generally absorbed into the portal blood through the intestinal
mucous membrane, but still some portion of it gets absorbed into thoracic duct lγmph.
B) Oral administration of tricaproin
Fig. 9 shows the analytic results of fatt>・ acids extracted from ch:yァleand
portal serum collected after oral administration of tricaproin. The comparison between
fatty acids in chyle (L.) collected after oral administration of 40g of tricaproin to experimental animals, and fatty acids extracted from portal serum (B.) suggests that just as in the experiment on administering tricaprylin, the portal serum con-
tains more caproic acid than chyle. That is, as caproic acid generally tends to be
absorbed into the portal blood, it is possible that certain portions of it get absorbed into thoracic duct lymph.
Thus, the absorption of orally administered fats through intestinal mucous mem-brane varies according to the type of fattγacid. Higher fatty acids than myristic
acid are generally transported into the blood stream by way of the thoracic duct,
while lower ones are absorbed directly into the portal blood mostly through the
intestinal mucous membrane. However, it is not necessarily proper to think that
absolutely none of the fatty acids lower than m円isticacid are absorbed into thoracic
duct lymph, since it was discovered that certain portions of them are absorbed into
thoracic duct lymph. It was also learned that lower fatty acids showed a gradual decline in the p2rcentage of absorption into thoracic duct h・mph,as the number of
their carbon atoms decreased. It is considered that the di百erencein the transport pathway of absorbed fatty acids based upon the number of carbon atoms constituting
such fattyァ acids,is closely associated with the degree of water-solubility and hydro-
lysis with lipase.
From these facts, the conclusion has been reached that for intravenous adminis-
第 4号
tration of fats, ti ・ig-J~·c~ridcs composed exclusively of as high fatty acids as possible
should be emulsified into globules less than 0.5;.L in diameter and be infu日eelas an
emulsion.
II) Component Fatt:γAcids in Various Organs As mentioned earlier in this report, it is a matter of course that the most
appropriate method for parenteral administration of fats is a glyceride emulsion
consisting of the commonest fatty acids which are alw何日 foundin the body.
1) Component fatty acids in dog’s organs
The component fatt:vア acids in the cerebrum, lh℃r, kidney, spleen, muscle,
large omentum, subcutaneous adipose tissue, bile, serum, l;vアmph, etc. of a healthy
adult dog in the postabsorptive state, were analysed b~· paper chromatography.
The arnilytic results are shown in Figs. 10 to 17. The commonest fatt>・ acids
in all organs were m≫r i円ticacid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid,
and linolenic acid.
In regard to the neuturalization values subcutaneous adipose tissue and the large
omentum were highest with values of 202 to 2D4, containing palmitic and oleic acid
in great quantities. Characteristic, however, is the fact that the>’ contain lauric
acid, but almost no highly unsaturated fatty acids.
Gen巴rall:-ァ speaking,large amounts of highly unsaturated fatty acids, docosenoic
acid, cicosenoic acid, etc. are found in liver and bile which give higher iodine values.
Although a certain amount of highly unsaturated fatty acids can alwa>・s be detected
in s巴rumtoo, their pres巴ncecan hardl>ア becertified in thoracic duct lymph, when in
the postabsorptive state.

Table 2 tabulates the species and iodine value of the component fatty acids of
various organs. 2) Component fatt~ァ acids in human subcutaneous adipose tissue, large omentum,
and serum
The analytic results on .component fatty acids in subcutaneous adipose tissue,
large omentum, and serum of an adult, are shown in Table 3 and Fig. 18. The
experimental results are al.most the回 meas in the dog.
The analytic results on fatty acids in each organ, d句otfat, serum, and thoracic
duct lymph of dogs and humans indicate that the泊 festparenteral method of supp・lementing fats is to administer a gl:yァcerideemulsion consisting of various fatt:yァacids
such as myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic
acid which are invariably present in all organs almost in the same ratio. Therefore,
as shown in Fig. 19, sesame oil is considered very appropriate.
IV. DISCUSSION
In our laboratory, the necessit:yァ forparenteral administration of fats has been well recognized, and e町ortshave been made during the past several years to prepare
intravenously infusible fat emulsion. However, the problem still remains as to what
fats should be chosen for such an emulsion.
In order to solve this problem, the analysis of component fatty acids in chyle
and portal blood collected after various test fats had been orally administered to
experimental animals, was carried out by paper chromatography. The results were
in agreement with those of BwoM et al. in which isotopes were used ; higher fatty
acids than myristic acid are generally absorbed into the thoracic duct through the
intestinal mucous membrane, while lower ones gradually decline in the percentage
of absorption into the thoracic duct in proportion to the decrease in number of
carbon atoms, and are absorトedmain!~’ into the portal blood. Thus, it follows that
in infusing fats directly into the cut!lneous vein, triglycerides composed substantiall:yγ
of higher fatty acids than myristic acid shoulcl be emulsified into globules less than
0.5μ in diameter and be infused as an emulsion.
In this case, attention is called to the following fact. Even low℃r fatty acids do not necessarily resist absorption into the thoracic duct, but rather some portions
may be absorbed into the thoracic duct.
AsADA and IzuKURA in our laboratory have used sesame oil emulsion, cod liver
oil emulsion, and synthetic ti句leinemulsion for oral or intravenous羽ministration
in experimental animals and have carried out histochemical studies of various organs.

When corl li¥'cr oil c011bi11i11広 alarg2 amount of high!;,・ uns:ituratcd fatt>・ acids,
clDco~cnoic acid, and cicoscnllic acid, or butter,「ontaini11glower fatty acids, were
given oral!>・ or intravenous!>・ as an emulsion, much larger amounts of phospholipids
were demon .;trated in the pg,renc~ァmatou日 cells of the liver, in comparison with cases
in which r泊 meoil emulsion was used, containing nothing but higher saturated
fatty acids, oleic acid and the essential fatt)γacids. And Kuy AMA found the same
results as when he studied the phosrholipid content of various organs biochemically.
According to the results mentioned above, high!>・ unsaturated fatty acids, lower fatty
acids, eicosenoic acid, dorosenoic acitl etc. are shifted onlJマ to the parenchymatous
cells of the liver ; and higher saturated fatt>・ acid日, oleicaεid, and essential fatty
acids arc shifted not onlγto the parench>・matous cells of the liver but also to extra-
hepatic tissues where they will b2 disposed of further.
It is natural that in my anal>・sis of component fatty acids of various organs,
much larger amounts of high!)・ unsaturated fatty acid日, docosenoicacid, eicosenoic
acid etc. were nntained in liver than in extrahepatic tissues. Accordingly, the
nutritional e百ectof fats should b2 cl巴cidedin consideration of these two metabolic
processcι (Fig. 20). That Iヘfatt)・ acids of the former group are a burden to the
liver, markedlyァ increaseketone bod;,・ production and maγcause ketosis, while fatt>・
acids of the latter group lighten the burden of the liver and produce ketone bodies
in smaller quantities than those of the former group. The author decided that in
view of the transport pathw町 ofabsorb2cl fats, triglycerides consisting mereb・ of
higher fatty acids have only to b3 infused intravenously in the form of emulsified
fat. Yet such a definition is still insufficient, so the following addition should be
made: Trigly・cerid2s which contain none of the highly unsaturated fatt;; acids, cico・
senoic acid, clocosenoic acid, but merely higher fatt)・ acids such as myristic acid,
palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linol::ic acid, and linolcnic acid, should be used
as materials for a fat emulsion.

V. SUMMARY
Using paper chromatography of fatty acid日, anattempt was made to pursue the
transport path way of absorbed fats through the intestinal mucous membrane when
fats are orally administerccl, and simultancou-;I~, to anal:v;;:、 componentfatt~’ acids in various organs, serum, bile, l~·mph, and depot fat etc.
ANALYTIC CHEMICAL STUDIES ON FAT METABOLISM 1187
The following conclusions were reached :
1) There are two trans1〕::lrtpathways of absorbed fats through the intestinal
mucous membrane : absorption into the thoracic duct and absorption into the portal
vcm.
2) Higher fatty acids than m~Tistic acid are generally absorbed into the
thoracic duct, while lower ones are absorbed mainlyア intothe portal vein directly.
3) In regard to lower fatty acids, the percentage of absorption into the tho-
racic duct gradually declines in proportion to the decrease in number of carbon atoms.
Even all the lower fatty acids such as caproic, caprylic acids, do not necessarily get
absorbed into the portal blood, but some are absorbed into the thoracic duct l~ ・mph
too.
4) In the postabsorptive state, lower fatty acids than lauric acid cannot be
found in any organ. And it was found that the fatty acids present in every normal
organ, and whose percentage in every organ is almost constant, are : mγristic acid,
palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid.
5) Depot fat contains lauric acid. However, highly unsaturated fatty acids,
docosenoic acid, eicosenoic acid etc. are present in the liver, bile, and blood in con-
siderable amounts ; those present in extrahcpatic tissues are far le田 inquantity than
in the liver. The origin of highly unsaturated fatty acids, docosenoic acid, eicosenoic
acid etc. contained in organs is attributable to alien fats coming from nutrients.
In closing, my hear勺rappreciation is extended to Dr. YoRINORI HrKASA, the instructor who
favored me with his tireless guidance and encouragement in this research as well as Prof.
MANJIRO NooA, an<l Mr. 0<AMIJ HIRAYAM¥, Assistant of the Biochemical Laboratory, Saikyo Univ-
