Abstract
Summary
Serum free glycerol and hepatic glycerokinase and L-a-glycerophos-phate dehydrogenase were measured in nonfasted, 75-day-old Wistar and carbohydrate-sensitive BHE rats. Serum free glycerol levels and glycerokinase activity were found to be elevated in the BHE strain. These results suggest that hepatic glycerol utilization by the BHE rat is being determined by factors other than the kinetics of the first glycerol-metabolizing step.
