Regulation of liver lipid metabolism in experimental obesity [proceedings].

Conclusion It is still axiomatic that the liver constitutes the main cross-roads for the processes of interorgan lipid metabolism, i.e. those processes designed to serve the whole animal as well as individual organ needs. Despite the prime importance of this role, knowledge of mechanisms of regulation of hepatic fat metabolism is derisory. The preceding account has been designed t o highlight this state of affairs.
