Abstract
BY feeding a dog with oil and with radioactive phosphorus (as sodium phosphate) and then determining the proportion of 'labelled' phosphorus in the lecithin of the blood and of the intestine, Prof. G.' Hevesy and B. Lundsgaard find that the additional lecithin found in the blood contains only a small amount of the active phosphorus, and conclude that during the absorption of neutral fats lecithin is formed outside the intestinal tract.
