Tissue distribution of lipogenesis in vivo in the common murre (Uria aalge) and the domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus).
1. Total body lipogenesis was similar in the murre and the chicken. 2. The liver contributes 10.4% to whole body lipogenesis in fed murres when measured in vivo using 3H2O. 3. The liver contributes 28.0% to whole body lipogenesis in the fed chicken. 4. The lower contribution of the liver in the murre may be a consequence of the high fat diet of the murre relative to the chicken.
