Abstract
Summary
Uptake of free fatty acids by skeletal muscle was determined by simultaneously measuring blood flow through profunda femoris veins, and arteriovenous fatty acid difference. Thigh muscles of the anesthetized dog showed only an occasional uptake of free fatty acids during rest. During direct electrical stimulation of muscles a consistent uptake of fatty acids was found on the stimulated side.
