Administration of the fatty acid analogue tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) to rodents up‐regulates peroxisomal and mitochondrial lipid‐metabolizing enzymes and induces a proliferation of these organelles in hepatocytes. We show here that male NMRI mice fed a diet containing 0.3% (w/w) TTA revealed a transient two‐fold increase in the incorporation of [3
