Abstract

Some methods for in vitro diagnosis of metabolic alterations are precise but time consuming. The present study shows a substantial modification for the technique of incubation of lymphocytes with tritiated palmitic acid reducing the spent time from some days to only 6 hours. These changes allow us the almost immediate confirmation of patients suspicious of suffering some inherited errors of fatty acid metabolism.
