THE ROLE OF CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM IN PROMOTING FATTY ACID OXIDATION

Abstract

The effect of carbohydrates on the oxidation of various fatty acids was studied in liver slices from normal and cold-fasted rats. The resulting evidence indicates that, while carbohydrate metabolism appears to be necessary for an optimal rate of fatty acid oxidation, it apparently is not a function of the 'sparking' action of oxalacetate or other Krebs cycle intermediates.
