title: Effects of ethyl p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate on carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism in rat liver.
abstract: 1. Rats were fed on a diet containing ethyl p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (0.3%, w/w) for 14 days. 2. The alterations of contents of intermediates in the liver indicate that gluconeogenesis is inhibited at the reaction(s) between 3-phosphoglycerate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate. The [nad+]/([nadh] ratios in cytoplasm and mitochondria were increased about 3- and 4-fold, respectively. Marked increases in the contents of CoA and its thioesters were found. 3. Hepatic fatty acid synthesis increased about 3-fold. There was no evidence of inhibition of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase [EC 6.4.1.2] reaction by the drug.
