Summary
Experimental evidence from the literature is given to support the hypothesis that the GS3 which may be present in natural fats cannot be in excess of the quantity which can exist in the fluid statein vivo. It is suggested that solid fat is not producedin vivo because the mode of action of lipolytic enzymes allows them to form only liquid fats.
