STUDIES ON THE PATHOGENESIS OF THE ETHANOL-INDUCED FATTY LIVER. I. SYNTHESIS AND OXIDATION OF FATTY ACIDS BY THE LIVER*

The present report is a study of changes in hepatic fatty acid synthesis and oxidation following ethanol administration in vivo and in vitro. Observations on the role of reduced and oxidized diphosphopyridine nucleotides are also presented. A subsequent report will deal with studies on lipid transport.
