abstract: The synthesis of fatty acids in mitochondria, microsomes and supernatant of mice liver was studied after administration of glucose 14C or (3)H, acetate 14C or 3H and pyruvate 14C.The results suggest that the cellular structures corresponding to the microsomes are the major site of fatty acid synthesis in the liver in vivo.
