Abstract

To study certain membrane repair processes in human erythrocytes, vitamin E-deficient cells were incubated with hydrogen peroxide. The incorporation of exogenous fatty acid and the transfer of fatty acid from phosphatidylcholine and neutral lipid into phosphatidylethanolamine were examined using radioactive fatty acids.
