Acetyl-CoA hydrolase which is stimulated by adenosine-5′-triphosphate is present in the cytoplasm of ovine liver and, unlike in certain others species, is not inactivated by cold. It is suggested that this enzyme is involved in a substrate cycle between acetate and acetyl-CoA. The heat produced as a result of such cycling may be as much as 2·5% of basal heat production and may be partly responsible for the increased heat increment that often follows the ingestion of diets that provide large quantities of acetate.
