This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study investigated the fate of dietary fat in humans. Subjecs who had been fed using a feeding tube were restudied when food was consumed by mouth. Our goals were to determine (1) how much dietary fat is burned after food consumption and how much enters the liver; (2) how much dietary carbohydrate is made into fat in the human liver, and (3) whether the two modes of feeding (tube feeding vs. oral consumption) affect these processes.
