The capacity of foetal and neonatal liver to oxidize short-, medium- and long-chain fatty acids was studied in the guinea pig. Liver mitochondria from foetal and newborn animals were unable to synthesize ketone bodies from octanoate, but octanoylcarnitine and palmitoylcarnitine were readily ketogenic. The ketogenic capacity at 24 h after birth was as high as in adult animals. Hepatocytes isolated from term animals were unable to oxidize fatty acids, but at 6 h after birth production of 14CO2, acid-soluble products and acetoacetate from 1-14C-labelled fatty acids was 40-50% of the rates at 24 h. At 12 h of age these rates had already reached the 24 h values and did not change during suckling in the first week of life. The activities of hepatic fatty acyl-CoA synthetases, which were minimal in the foetus or at term, increased to maximal values in 12-24 h. The data show that the capacity for beta-oxidation and ketogenesis develops maximally in this species during the first 6-12 h after birth, and appears to be partly dependent on the development of fatty acid-activating enzyme.

When isolated guinea pig liver microsomal membranes were incubated with isomeric (5-, 12-, and 16-doxyl stearoyl) spin-labelled sn-3-[2-3H]phospfaatidic acid in the presence of CTP and Mg2+, formation of corresponding CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides (in an amount representing 16.5–17.4% of the labelled lipids), which were acceptable substrates in the microsomal biosynthesis of sn-3-[2-3H]phosphatidyl-myo-[U-l4C]inositols, took place. When microsomal membranes containing known amounts of labelled CDP-diglycerides were incubated with unlabeled mitochondrial membranes, reisolated mitochondria contained labelled lipids in an amount which could not be accounted for by the microsomal contamination of reisolated mitochondria, determined by the assay of NADPH – cytochrome c reductase activity, establishing therefore the translocation of labelled CDP-diglycerides (and other labelled lipids) from microsomal to mitochondrial membranes in an amount of ~50% of microsomal content. The rate of loss of paramagnetic lipid species in microsomal and in reisolated mitochondrial membranes was found to be quite different. When reisolated mitochondria containing trans-located isomeric spin-labelled CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides were further incubated with sn-3-[U-14C]glycerophosphate, the formation of labelled phosphatidylglycerophosphate and phosphatidylglycerol was detected. These findings established that the translocation of endogenously formed CDP-[2-3H]diglycerides occurred from isolated microsomal membranes to both outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.
