Abstract excerpt
The purpose of these studies was to determine if the utilization of ketone bodies as a carbon source for lipogenesis could account for the decreased ketone body production by livers of obese Zucker rats, as well as contribute to the enhanced rates of fatty acid synthesis observed in these animals. Ketone body production was decreased from 822 mumol/liver in the lean to 538 mumol/liver in the obese genotype (P...
