     It is butyrate, however, which is the fatty acid of most importance to the colonic epithelial cell. Apart from being an important respiratory fuel for the colonocyte, butyrate has remarkably diverse properties in a wide range of cells.

     Another question to be raised is the possible use of butyrate in the lipogenic pathway. Even though the carbons from butyrate could be incorporated into lipid extracts [12], this incorporation represents less than 1 % of CO₂, and TKB productions.

     To examine the effects of sodium butyrate on virus production, cells were exposed to sodium butyrate at various concentrations and times starting 16 h after transfection.

     Butyrates are four carbon fatty acids first found in butter. Butyrates are formed naturally in the gut by friendly bacteria (probiotics) digesting fibre, such as the fibre in psyllium seed husks.

   • 2002, Dave Thompson, The Music Lover's Guide to Record Collecting, Hal Leonard Corporation (?ISBN), Acetates—The Rock Star's Rough Draft:

     Acetates are a relic of the days before cassettes, DAT, and recordable CDs came into widespread use in recording studios. Manufactured from aluminum, and coated in a thin sheet of vinyl, they were produced to allow the concerned parties to hear how a particular version of a recording would sound outside the studio, on their home hi-fi, for example.
