[Use of radioactive fatty acids for evaluating the processes of beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the body].

The pharmacokinetics and metabolic features of I-radionuclide labelled derivatives of aliphatic carboxylic acid were studied in experiment. The authors show the possibilities of nuclear medicine in deriving information on the activity of fatty acid beta-oxidation in the animal liver and body using compounds with C4 = C11 aliphatic chain locus.
