Abstract：
:The physiological role of the peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA beta-oxidizing system (FAOS) is not yet established. We speculated that there might be a relationship between peroxisomal degradation of long-chain fatty acids in the liver and the biosynthesis of bile acids. This was investigated using [1-14C]butyric acid and [1-14C]lignoceric acid as substrates of FAOS in mitochondria and peroxisomes, respectively. The incorporation of [14C]lignoceric acid into primary bile acids was approximately four times higher than that of [14C]butyric acid (in terms of C-2 units). The pools of these two fatty acids in the liver were exceedingly small. The incorporations of radioactivity into the primary bile acids were strongly inhibited by administration of aminotriazole, which is a specific inhibitor of peroxisomal FAOS in vivo [F. Hashimoto and H. Hayashi (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 921, 142-150]. Aminotriazole inhibited preferentially the formation of cholate, the major primary bile acid, from both [14C]lignoceric acid and [14C]butyric acid, rather than the formation of chenodeoxycholate. The former inhibition was about 70% and the latter was approximately 40-50%. In view of reports that cholate is biosynthesized from endogenous cholesterol, the above results indicate that peroxisomal FAOS may have an anabolic function, supplying acetyl CoA for bile acid biosynthesis.
