Membranes from adipocytes of adult and young rats have been compared. Phospholipid fatty acids from adult rats were more saturated than those from young rats. This difference was associated with a decreased fluidity in the membranes of the adult rats, which was inferred from measurements of fluorescence polarisation of the fluorescent probe, 1,6-diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene.
