Lipogenesis

Abstract
IN the field of lipid synthesis, knowledge is still scanty and rudimentary. Although the conversion of carbohydrate to fat by the living organism has been known to biologists for years, the intervening metabolic steps involved are almost completely unknown. For that matter, little is known about the individual chemical reactions concerned with either the oxidation of fatty acids or their biosynthesis.It has become apparent that the investigator studying the details of such processes must work with as simple a system as possible and, even more important, must attempt to isolate the individual enzyme systems involved in these complex biochemical . . .
