Cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis of the isolated perfused rat liver were measured by the 3H2O method. Kynurenate (10 to 40 mm) inhibited the rate of fatty acid synthesis by 60 to 88%. The rate of cholesterol synthesis, on the contrary, was not reduced at all by this inhibitor. These findings show that malonyl coenzyme A is not an intermediate in β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-CoA formation in the intact organ and exclude the existence of a malonyl-CoA pathway of cholesterol synthesis in rat liver.
In der Rattenleber sind die Geschwindigkeit der Cholesterinsynthese und die Aktivität der HMG-CoA-Reduktase (E.C. 1.1.1.34) nach einer Diät mit hohem Cholsäuregehalt vermindert [1, 2]. Dieser Effekt tritt nach 4 bis 8 Std ein [3, 2]. Er wurde einerseits als direkter regulatorischer Angriff der Cholsäure am Schrittmacherenzym der Cholesterinsynthese („Gallensäure-Cholesterin-feedback“) [4] andererseits als sekundäre Folge der gesteigerten Resorption von Nahrungscholesterin durch die Darmmucosa („Cholesterin-Cholesterin-feedback”) [5] gedeutet. Versuche mit zellfreien Systemen ergaben ebenfalls widersprüchliche Ergebnisse [6, 2]; deren Relevanz wird generell dadurch gemindert, daß die in vivo in der Umgebung der HMG-CoA-Reduktase vorhandenen Gallensäurenkonzentrationen unbekannt sind.
The effect of taurocholate and cholate on hepatic cholesterol synthesis has been studied with the isolated perfused rat liver. By the infusion of bile salts at a constant rate to the portal vein, conditions in the enterohepatic circulation of taurocholate and cholate in vivo were simulated. A 1‐h infusion of sodium taurocholate, at a rate of 10mg × (100g body wt) −1 × h −1 , did not inhibit cholesterol synthesis, as measured by 3 H 2 O incorporation. The same results were obtained, when livers with enhanced cholesterol synthesis were studied or when bile salt infusions were extended to 2 h before starting incorporation measurements. Stimulation was achieved by feeding a 2% cholestyramine diet during 7 days to the donor animals. A 3‐h infusion of taurocholate, at the above rate, exerted no toxic effect on liver metabolism, as judged from hepatic enzyme leakage to the perfusion medium, from the rate of ketone body production and the 3‐hydroxybutyrate/acetoacetate ratio. Cholic acid in amounts equivalent to those of taurocholate did not influence cholesterol synthesis under these conditions. It is concluded, that inhibition of cholesterol synthesis by bile salts in vivo is not mediated by a short‐acting ( e.g. allosteric) mechanism at the enzymatic level, but rather by a change of enzyme content.
