title: Tissue distribution of lipogenesis in vivo in the common murre (Uria aalge) and the domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus).
abstract: 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.
