Studies were performed on methods of storage of rat jejunal tissue that would preserve activities of the lipid reesterifying enzymes, acyl CoA:monoglyceride acyltransferase and fatty acid CoA ligase. Storage at -80 degrees C of microsomes prepared from jejunal mucosa or storage of lyophilized microsomes at -20 degrees C was shown to preserve acyl CoA:monoglyceride acyltransferase very well for a matter of weeks. Preservation of fatty acid CoA ligase activity was adequate with either method, but results were not as good as for the transacylase enzyme.
