Molecular specificity of methyl -D 9 -choline incorporation into dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. PC16:0/16:0 synthesis (open bars), expressed as a percentage of newly-synthesized total PC, was compared with that of endogenous PC16:0/16:0 (closed bars) at both 24 and 48 h for broncholaveolar lavage (BALF), tracheal wash (TW) and induced sputum (IS) (mean ± SD; ‡P < 0.001 calculated by two way analysis of variance).
