Abstract
EARLIER work on the metabolism of fatty livers by Ennor1 showed that the oxygen consumption and the acetoacetic acid production of liver slices from guinea pigs poisoned with carbon tetrachloride is considerably in excess of normal. Since adenosinetriphosphate is essential for the oxidation of fatty acids2, it was considered of interest to determine a possible correlation between high-energy phosphate content and the increased metabolism of such livers.
