1. Interrelationships between the level of dietary fat and the metabolism of palmitate, stearate, oleate and linoleate in the broiler chicken have been studied by means of isotope dilution techniques.

2. The composition of the free fatty acid (FFA) and triglyceride fractions of plasma lipids was influenced by the level of dietary fat, but the only effect of diet on plasma concentration was the higher FFA levels after feeding in birds given the high-fat diet.

3. The rates of entry and oxidation of the individual fatty acids were correlated with their concentrations in plasma, but were unrelated to the level of dietary fat. Slight differences in the metabolism of the individual fatty acids were observed.

4. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2) and desaturase activities were higher in the livers of birds given the low-fat diet.
