“…An increased concentration of glycerol phosphate that accompanies the change in the redox state may be one of these (Nikkila & Ojala, 1963;Hawkins & Kalant, 1972;Lieber, 1974). However, glycerol phosphate concentrations alone cannot account for the ethanol-induced stimulation of triacylglycerol synthesis Fellenius et al, 1973;Estler, 1974;Abrams & Cooper, 1976a). The increased uptake of fatty acids from the circulation appears to be far more important (Bode & Goebell, 1971;Johnson et al, 1975;Abrams & Cooper, 1976a,b).…”
