In laboratory mammals hepatic Iipogenesis is stimulated by insulin (Fain, Scow, Urgoiti and Chernick 1965) and this action may be antagonized by growth hormone (GH) (Brady, Lukens alld Gurin 1951, Fain and Scow Insulin (5 U/kg) injected intravenously, simultaneously with 1964). In birds it has been shown that lipogenesis glucose- 14 C tracer, increased the amount of 14C found in of incubated hepatocytes is stimulated by addition liver lipids at 30 min after the injection.
