Fatty acid synthesis in the brown fat and liver of foetal and newborn rabbits (Short Communication)

Jill Iliffe 1, Brian L Knight 1, Nicolas B Myant 1
PMCID: PMC1177813  PMID: 4146671

Abstract

The postnatal fall in fatty acid synthesis in the liver and brown fat of newborn rabbits is accompanied in both tissues by a decrease in the capacities of the enzymes of fatty acid synthesis and an apparent increase in the degree of inhibition of one or more of these enzymes.
