Abstract

Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations are generally a reflexion of the extent of mobilization of depot fats (Frederickson & Gordon, 1958). In non-fasted sheep values are low, usually in the region of 100–200 μ-equiv./litre plasma, but occasionally values up to 500 μ-equiv./litre have been noted in fed, unstressed sheep (Leat & Ford, 1966). To obtain information on the variation in the concentration of plasma glucose and FFA, sheep were studied over a period of two seasons.
