Conversion of glutamate carbon to fatty acid carbon via citrate in rat epididymal fat pads

The incorporation of the C14 of glutamate-2-C14 and glutamate-5-C14 into fatty acids by epididymal fat pads and liver slices suggests the operation of the following metabolic pathway: α-ketoglutarate → isocitrate → cis-aconitate → citrate → acetyl CoA + oxalacetate (referred to as the backward react...
