在过去五年內我們对于葡萄糖如何能影响脂类代謝的几方面的认識获得了显著的进展。这个問題的解决主要由于一方面对葡萄糖的分解进行了詳細的研究,另一方面在于对脂肪合成及酮体生成的生化机制得到了一些根本性的发展。但是在本文的开始就必須着重指出:到目前为止,对这方面还有許多問題特別是醣酵解与酮体及胆固醇合成之間的关系問題尚未得到解决。毫无疑問,在这一方面最重要的进展的获得是由于証实了在机体大多数細胞內葡萄糖的分解 In the past five years, we have made notable progress in our understanding of how glucose affects several aspects of lipid metabolism. The solution to this problem is mainly due to the detailed study on the decomposition of glucose on the one hand and the fundamental development on the biochemical mechanism of fat synthesis and ketone body formation on the other hand. However, at the outset of this paper, it must be emphasized that so far there are still many problems in this regard, especially the relationship between glycolysis and ketone body and cholesterol synthesis has not yet been solved. Undoubtedly, the most important advance in this area is due to the demonstration of the breakdown of glucose in most cells of the body
