Abstract
Mice of strains A, C3H, C57BL and YBR/Ch, rendered obese by feeding 50% fat diets, developed fatty livers. This was not due to a lowering of liver choline oxidase levels nor to a deficiency in choline. Mice made obese by the feeding of diets containing 25% or less fat did not usually develop fatty livers. Strain I mice could not be made obese and did not develop fatty livers.Keywords
