The effect of prolonged food deprivation on the triglyceride level in different types of skeletal muscle was studied in the rat. It has been found that fasting gradually reduces the triglyceride content in each muscle type. It is concluded that i.m. triglycerides play an important role as energy fuel during fasting.
