title: [The biosynthesis of fatty acids in dependence of age (author's transl)].
abstract: We determined the synthesis of fatty acids in rat liver in vitro, using the method of labeling the fatty acid with tritiated water. After the well-known increase of the biosynthesis of fatty acids in the postnatal period we found an age-dependent decrease which is positively correlated with the activity of lipogenic enzymes of rat liver.
