Summary
In this paper we propose that regulation of the glucose/
insulin axis by diet will result in increased fattening at
the marbling (intramuscular) depot. The pattern of fat
accretion in the whole carcass is first described to
emphasise that the marbling depot is relatively late
maturing. The pathways of fat metabolism are then
discussed with the aim of examining the possibility of
regulating fat partitioning between depots in ruminants.
The importance of acetate versus glucose + lactate as
substrates for lipogenesis differs between depots in
the ruminant and it is proposed that......
