Abstract
1. 1. The activity of an enzyme of the fatty acid oxidation cycle is compared to the activity of both short- and long-chain carnitine acyltransferase in organs of rat, pigeon and locust. 2. 2. In muscular tissue a constant relation between the activity of the tranferases and the capacity for fatty acid oxidation is established. 3. 3. In liver and kidney the activity of the long-chain transferase follows the activity of the fatty acid oxidation cycle; this, however, does not hold for short-chain transferase. 4. 4. As carnitine acyltransferases are important in fatty acid transport within the mitochondria, these results can be explained by accepting differences in the structure of the mitochondrial membranes between the different organs.
