Abstract
1.1. Production of CO2 and fatty acids from acetate, glucose and lactate was determined in slices of liver and adipose tissue from prairie voles fed either a high-starch or a high-cellulose diet.2.2. Acetate and lactate were oxidized to CO2 and converted to fatty acids at greater rates than was glucose in both liver and adipose tissue.3.3. Fatty acid synthesis occurred at greater rates in adipose tissue than in liver.4.4. Fatty acid synthesis per adipocyte increased with increased adipocyte diameter.5.5. Fiber content of diets had only mimimal effect on metabolic activities of liver and adipose tissue.
