Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of adipose tissue and liver as sites of fatty acid synthesis in the pig and the efficiency of utilization of various substrates for lipogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid biosynthesis and transport in the domestic chick (Gallus domesticus)
E.K. O'Hea,Gilbert A. Leveille +1 more
TL;DR: The primary function of chick adipose tissue appears to be one of lipid storage rather than lipid synthesis, and triglyceride occurring in the plasma as β- or low-density lipoprotein is the main transport form of lipid from liver to adipose tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipogenesis in isolated adipose tissue of the domestic chick (Gallus domesticus)
E.K. O'Hea,Gilbert A. Leveille +1 more
TL;DR: Malic enzyme activity is high in chick liver homogenates and may be a primary source of reducing equivalents for lipid synthesis in this organ, and pentose cycle dehydrogenase enzymes is low in both chick liver and adipose tissue homogenate.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vivo Lipogenesis in the Domestic Chicken
TL;DR: The ability of chicks to utilize glucose-U- 14C and acetate-1-14C as substrates for lipid synthesis has been studied and chick adipose tissue was found to be of minor importance as compared to liver.
