Osmotic Stress-induced Gene Expression in the Diencephalon, Kidney, Liver, and Breast Muscle of Chicks
When chicks didn't have water, their bodies turned on genes that help burn fat, which can make water inside the body. This supports the idea that burning fat helps create water for the body to use.
The oxidation of fatty acids combined with albumin by isolated rat liver mitochondria.
The study shows that fat is burned in mitochondria using oxygen, which is the process that makes water inside cells. This matches the idea that fat burning creates water that helps cells work.
