Abstract:	The source of free fatty acids (FFA) and the pathways contributing to the accumulation of neutral fats in livers of rats fed a cholesterol-enriched diet were investigated in this report. Supplementation with 1% cholesterol in the diet for four weeks resulted in hepatomegaly in the rats. The contents of cholesterol and triacylglycerols (TC) per gram liver measured in rats fasted overnight increased by 48 mg (similar to tenfold) and 66 mg (similar to fourfold), respectively. The activities of glycerophosphate acyltransferase and diacylglycerol acyltransferase, the two key enzymes for TC synthesis in liver microsomes, were found to increase by 23 and 19%, respectively, in the cholesterol-fed rats. The secretion of plasma TG present predominantly in very low density lipoprotein was found to decrease by similar to 30%. The incorporation of tritium from tritiated water in liver FFA increased by twofold in rats fed the cholesterol-supplemented diet, whereas the activity of CPT I in liver mitochondria decreased by 23%. The uptake of plasma FFA in vivo in livers of fasted rats maintained on the cholesterol-supplemented diet decreased by 60%. Our data thus indicate that the excess TG accumulated in livers of rats fed the cholesterol-enriched diet resulted from increased synthesis and decreased secretion of TG. To meet the demand of fatty acids for this purpose, de novo lipogenesis increased, whereas beta-oxidation decreased. Although difference in the uptake of extrahepatic FFA may be discounted, a difference in the uptake of chylomicron remnants between the control and cholesterol-fed rats may not be ruled out.
