Glycogen does not appear to be formed from fat. It will be remembered that fat may be derived from proteid, and it also appears that carbohydrates may g...ive rise to fat, for it has been found that cattle put on an amount of fat more than four times that gained from the food. The ultimate fate of fat is to be oxidised into CO 2 and water. Fat is utilised in the body to produce heat and muscular work. As it contains more unoxidised carbon and hydrogen than carbohydrates (starches and sugar) it has a greater capa- city for force production. The amount of heat developed by the combustion of certain alimentary substances, as well as the mechanical work obtainable by their oxidation, is shown in the following table : Calories Kilogram-metres I gram of beef fat yields ....
