Roles of Fatty Acid Oversupply and Impaired Oxidation in Lipid Accumulation in Tissues of Obese Rats

Figure 5

Relationship between FA uptake and FA oxidation capacity by individual tissues in lean (grey symbols) and obese (black symbols) Zucker rats. FA uptake has been calculated from data (see Results section). The broken line indicates equality of uptake and oxidation capacity. FA uptake in the skeletal muscle, EDL (extensor digitorum longus), was assessed in the quiescent state and during sustainable twitch contractions: arrows indicate the effect of contraction.
