FATTY ACID TURNOVER
The rate of appearance of endogenous unlabeled fatty acids into the bloodstream can be determined by calculating the dilution of an infused stable isotope-labeled fatty acid, typically 13C-palmitate. At equilibrium, the rate of appearance equals the rate of disappearance or uptake. By measuring the rate of appearance, we can therefore determine the flux or turnover rate of the substrate.
