The incorporations of 2,3‐ 14 C‐succinate 2‐ 14 C‐acetate into fatty acids of different cellular fractions of rat liver were studied. Acetate was incorporated mainly into supernatant and succinate into microsomal fatty acids. Mitochondria only could intensively decarboxylate pyruvate. Avidine inhibited fatty acid synthesis from succinate mainly in the supernatant. It is suggested that succinate is an important physiological precursor of fatty acids in the liver and that an active succino‐dehydrogenase is present in microsomes.
