Micronutrients and macronutrients in the liver in experimental alimentary obesity.

Strong and very strong positive correlations differing from those in the control were found between chemical elements in the liver of rats with experimental alimentary obesity under conditions of physiological hunger and soon after fatty food intake. These findings attest to sustained metabolism disturbances in obesity and formation of a pathological system. Considering the appearance of strong and very strong correlations of Br and Rb in alimentary obesity, more attention should be paid to the investigation of the role of these poorly studied elements in lipid metabolism.
