Calculation of lipolysis and esterification from glycerol metabolism in rat adipose tissue.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the metabolism of glycerol in epididymal fat pads from fed and fasted rats, showing that both groups absorb radioactive glycerol over time.
- The primary outcome is the conversion of glycerol into glyceride-glycerol and CO(2), with fasted rats exhibiting lower rates of CO(2) production compared to fed rats.
- Despite higher glycerol production in fasted rats, the study highlights the need to factor in the dilution of radioactive glycerol when calculating actual tissue utilization rates for glycerol.
