Abstract
1. 1. Production of CO 2, fatty acids and glycerol from glucose and acetate was measured in slices of liver and adipose tissue taken from mature dogs. 2. 2. Acetate was the predominant carbon source for de novo fatty acid synthesis in both tissues. 3. 3. Fatty acid synthesis occurred at greater rates in adipose tissue than in liver. 4. 4. Glucose provided carbon for glycerol synthesis production in adipose tissue. 5. 5. Results support the concept that adipose tissue, and not liver, is the principal anatomical site for fatty acid synthesis in dogs.
