Effect of sex and bezafibrate on incorporation of blood borne palmitate into lipids of rat liver nuclei.

Abstract:

:The aim of the present study was to investigate whether lipid metabolism in the nuclei is affected by changes in the metabolism of free fatty acids in the liver. The experiments were carried out on 3 groups of rats: 1 - control-male, 2 - female, and 3 - male, treated with bezafibrate (a peroxisome proliferator). The rats received 14C-palmitic acid intravenously. Thirty min later liver samples and blood from the abdominal aorta were taken. The liver nuclei were isolated in sucrose gradient. Lipids were extracted from the nuclei and the liver homogenate and subsequently separated into the following fractions: phospholipids, mono, di- and triacylglycerols, free fatty acids, cholesterol and cholesterol esters. The radioactivity of each fraction was counted. Furthermore, the content of free fatty acids and the fatty acid binding proteins was measured. It was found that radioactivity was present in each lipid fraction obtained from the liver homogenate and from the nuclei. In the female group, the total radioactivity of lipids in the liver homogenate was lower, whereas in the nuclei it was higher in comparison to the male group. The reduction in the radioactivity in the liver was mostly accounted for by decreased radioactivity in the fraction oftriacylglycerols and phospholipids. In the nuclei, the radioactivity of the fraction of phospholipids, free fatty acids and diacylglycerols was elevated. Bezafibrate did not affect the total radioactivity of lipids in the liver and reduced it in the nuclei. In the liver, the drug increased radioactivity mostly in the fraction of phospholipids and reduced it mainly in the fraction of triacylglycerols. In the nuclei, the radioactivity of each lipid fraction examined was reduced. The content of the fraction of free fatty acids in the liver and in the nuclei in the female and in the bezafibrate-treated groups did not differ from the respective value in the control group. The content of fatty acid binding proteins in the nuclei of the female and bezafibrate-treated groups increased in parallel to the elevation in their content in the cytosol. It is concluded that the female sex hormones and bezafibrate influence the transport of selected lipids into the nuclei. The effects seem to be a consequence of the action of these factors directly on the nucleus.
