The role of adipose tissue in glucose utilization in irradiated rats.
The authors studied the conversion of U-14C-glucose to total lipids, fatty acids and glyceride glycerol in the epididymal adipose tissue of rats X-irradiated with a single whole body dose of 14.4 Gy X-rays. Analyses were carried out 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after irradiation. In the adipose tissue of irradiated rats, the incorporation of 14C-glucose into all the lipid fractions was raised throughout the whole time of observation (300-600% of the control value). Most of the 14C-glucose was incorporated into the glyceride glycerol fraction.
