title: Rate of incorporation of dietary fat in gold thioglucose obesity in mice.
abstract: Gold Thioglucose injections in mice are followed by a rapid accumulation of fat in the carcasses. The incorporation of an oral dose of [3H] glyceroyl tripalmitate in body fat stores showed after GTG-treatment a transient but significant increase and a return to normal values within 6 weeks. The rate of incorporation of dietary fat into the body was estimated from these values as well as from food intake and fat content of the diet (2.5 per cent). The resulting curve showed great similarity with the first differential of the curve of total body fat accumulated during that period. The rate of incorporation of dietary fat into body stores is apparently modified in GTG obesity in mice.
