Abstract
Radioactive ubiquinone can be isolated from rat liver following intraperitoneal injections of C14-acetate or mevalonic acid. No detectable amount of radioactive ubiquinone could be isolated from liver homogenates, liver slices, or intestinal mucosa incubated in vitro with C14-acetate or mevalonic acid. The possible requirement of isolated tissues for an exogenous factor is discussed.Keywords
