Abstract
The fate of labelled free fatty acids in isolated perfused livers shows that on entering the liver they are esterified or oxidized. The more acid which enters the oxidation pathway, the more goes into ketogenesis and the less into the citric acid cycle, so that the total production of energy remains constant.
