Metabolic Deficiency

The metabolic utilization of 14C-labelled acetate, pyruvate, lactate and glucose by isolated epididymal fat-cells was compared in two groups of rats fed ad libitum, one group young and lean (150-200 g body wt.), the other older and spontaneously obese (500-650 g body wt.). The influence of unlabelled glucose (6 mM) and insulin on substrate utilization by adipocytes was also studied. (1) Pyruvate and lactate were found to be good precursors for fatty-acid synthesis in small fat-cells, but not in larger fat-cells. On the other hand, lactate conversion into CO2 and the glycerol moiety of acylglycerols proceeded activity in both types of cells, and in some cases, it even exceeded the rates of glucose utilization. (2) The addition of glucose or glucose plus insulin, but not insulin alone, enhanced the metabolism of acetate, pyruvate and lactate in both types of fat-cells. (3) Fatty-acid synthesis de novo in large fat-cells was markedly decreased regardless of the substrate utilized. These findings point to lactate as a significant precursor for triacylglycerol synthesis in adipocytes. Furthermore, decreased fatty-acid synthesis de novo appears to be an acquired metabolic deficiency of enlarging adipocytes, independent of precursor substrate availability.

Triacylglycerol Synthesis

The mass of very-low-density-lipoproteins (VLDL) triacylglycerol secreted from isolated hepatocytes was dependent on the nutritional state of the donor rats, and declined in the order sucrose-fed greater than chow-fed greater than polyunsaturated-fat-fed greater than starved. This was the case irrespective of the presence or absence of exogenous oleate. The contribution of newly synthesized fatty acids to the total mass of VLDL triacylglycerol also declined in the above order, and reflected the relative rates of fatty acid synthesis de novo in each of the groups. The contribution of exogenous oleate to VLDL triacylglycerol varied in a manner similar to that for newly synthesized fatty acid. However, the contribution either of exogenous oleate or of newly synthesized fatty acid never exceeded 17-20% of the total VLDL triacylglycerol fatty acid even in the sucrose-fed animals. The increased contribution of newly synthesized fatty acids in the sucrose-fed group was not sufficient to account for the increase in the total mass of VLDL triacylglycerol secreted. These results suggest that: (a) changes in the rate of triacylglycerol secretion are not a direct consequence of variations in the rate of fatty acid synthesis de novo; (b) in the short term, most of the triacylglycerol required for VLDL assembly and secretion is derived from an intracellular storage source: (c) the distribution of newly synthesized triacylglycerol between the cytosolic and secretory pools was similar irrespective of the source of fatty acids (i.e. synthesized de novo or exogenous).

1. 0.5mm-Palmitate stimulated incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into glyceride glycerol and fatty acids in normal fat cells in a manner dependent upon the glucose concentration. 2. In the presence of insulin the incorporation of 5mm-glucose into glyceride fatty acids was increased by concentrations of palmitate, adrenaline and 6-N-2′-O-dibutyryladenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate up to 0.5mm, 0.5μm and 0.5mm respectively. Higher concentrations of these agents produced progressive decreases in the rate of glucose incorporation into fatty acids. 3. The effects of palmitate and lipolytic agents upon the measured parameters of glucose utilization were similar, suggesting that the effects of lipolytic agents are mediated through increased concentrations of free fatty acids. 4. In fat cells from 24h-starved rats, maximal stimulation of glucose incorporation into fatty acids was achieved with 0.25mm-palmitate. Higher concentrations of palmitate were inhibitory. In fat cells from 72h-starved rats, palmitate only stimulated glucose incorporation into fatty acids at high concentrations of palmitate (1mm and above). 5. The ability of fat cells to incorporate glucose into glyceride glycerol in the presence of palmitate decreased with increasing periods of starvation. 6. It is suggested that low concentrations of free fatty acids stimulate fatty acid synthesis from glucose by increasing the utilization of ATP and cytoplasmic NADH for esterification of these free fatty acids. When esterification of free fatty acids does not keep pace with their provision, inhibition of fatty acid synthesis occurs. Provision of free fatty acids far in excess of the esterification capacity of the cells leads to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and a secondary stimulation of fatty acid synthesis from glucose.

1. Fatty acid synthesis de novo was measured in the perfused liver of fed mice. 2. The total rate, measured by the incorporation into fatty acid of3H from3H2O (1–7μmol of fatty acid/h per g of fresh liver), resembled the rate found in the liver of intact mice. 3. Perfusions with l-[U-14C]lactic acid and [U-14C]glucose showed that circulating glucose at concentrations less than about 17mm was not a major carbon source for newly synthesized fatty acid, whereas lactate (10mm) markedly stimulated fatty acid synthesis, and contributed extensive carbon to lipogenesis. 4. The identification of 50% of the carbon converted into newly synthesized fatty acid lends further credibility to the use of3H2O to measure hepatic fatty acid synthesis. 5. The total rate of fatty acid synthesis, and the contribution of glucose carbon to lipogenesis, were directly proportional to the initial hepatic glycogen concentration. 6. The proportion of total newly synthesized lipid that was released into the perfusion medium was 12–16%. 7. The major products of lipogenesis were saturated fatty acids in triglyceride and phospholipid. 8. The rate of cholesterol synthesis, also measured with3H2O, expressed as acetyl residues consumed, was about one-fourth of the basal rate of fatty acid synthesis. 9. These results are discussed in terms of the carbon sources of hepatic newly synthesized fatty acids, and the effect of glucose, glycogen and lactate in stimulating lipogenesis, independently of their role as precursors.
