Effect of ingestion of saline, glucose, and ethanol on mobilization and hepatic incorporation of epididymal pad palmitate-1-14C in rats
The effect of ingestion of saline, glucose, and ethanol (isocaloric with the glucose) on the mobilization of radiopalmitate from epididymal fat prelabeled in vivo and the incorporation of the mobilized Llangadog RFC label into liver lipids was investigated in rats.The mobilization of radiopalmitate from epididymal fat and the incorporation of the m
