Metabolism of ingested 14C-triolein. Estimation of radiation dose in tests of lipid assimilation using 14C-and 3H-labelled fatty acids.

To estimate the radiation dose of ingested 14C- (and 3H-) labelled fatty acids, we measured 14CO2 in samples of expired air in five subjects, and serum 14C activity in four subjects, over 4 weeks. These investigations showed that 25%-40% of ingested 14C-fatty acids were metabolized and expired as 14CO2 within 10 days after ingestion. The residue was expired with a calculated half-life of 493 days. Six days after ingestion of the radiolipids, radioactivity in serum was barely detectable. From these data of 14C-fatty acid metabolism, a total whole-body radiation of 20 mrem/microCi 14C, 8 mrem/microCi 14C the first year, was calculated. The corresponding radiation dose for 3H-fatty acid was 2 mrem/microCi 3H and 1 mrem/microCi 3H respectively. Maximal organ-specific radiation (gonads and lungs) from the blood-borne radioactivity was 1 mrem/microCi of 14C-fatty acid.

Free fatty acids digested from pollen and triolein in the honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica Pollmann) midgut.

Honey bees satisfy their lipid requirement by consuming pollen. The free fatty acid content of the midgut was used to quantify fat digestion. Midguts extracted from younger workers of known ages and from foragers were divided into three components: endoperitrophic region (peritrophic membrane with gut contents), extraperitrophic region and intestinal wall. Both the total amount of pollen and the amount of free fatty acids in the endoperitrophic region and in the intestinal wall depend on the bee's age. The amounts increase within the 1st 3 days of a honey bee's life, reach maxima around the age of 8 days and then decrease continuously to the lowest values, measured in forager bees. Forced feeding with triacylglycerol results in significantly higher levels of free fatty acids, especially in the endoperitrophic region, in 8-day-old bees and foragers. This indicates that lipolytic activity depends on age and that the free fatty acid content in 8-day-old bees is primarily limited by the amount and availability of lipids ingested. The results show further that fat digestion depends on the functional status of honey bees, as is the case for pollen consumption, speed of transport of pollen bolus through the alimentary canal and protein digestion.

Surface composition regulates clearance from plasma and triolein lipolysis of lipid emulsions.

Sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) are major surface lipid constituents of plasma lipoproteins. We investigated the effects of SM and Chol on the plasma clearance of lipid emulsions as a model for lipoprotein particles in rats. The presence of Chol facilitated the removal of emulsion particles from plasma, whereas SM delayed particle removal. Preinjection of lactoferrin, an inhibitor of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) receptor, revealed that the differences in clearance of emulsions were due to the differences in affinity for the apoE receptor. Measurement of apolipoprotein binding suggested that the balance of apoE and apoC (apoC-II and apoC-III) bound to emulsions caused the difference in plasma clearance of emulsion particles. That is to say, SM in the emulsion surface decreased binding of apoE, which led to a longer circulation of emulsion particles in plasma. Chol, on the other hand, decreased the ratio of apoC to apoE, which may have promoted emulsion uptake through the apoE receptor. We also examined in vitro lipolysis using immobilized lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in a heparin affinity column. Lipolysis rates were significantly reduced by the incorporation of SM into the emulsion surface, but not by the incorporation of Chol, indicating that SM in the lipoprotein surface is an important lipid component regulating LPL-mediated lipolysis. Our results suggest that the presence of SM and Chol in the lipoprotein surface plays an important role in the circulation behavior and LPL-mediated lipolysis of lipid emulsions through their effect on the selectivity of plasma protein binding.

Validation of a procedure for exogenous isotopic labeling of lipoprotein triglyceride with radioactive triolein.

A procedure has been developed for the exogenous isotopic labeling of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins) using high specific activity radioactive triglyceride in the presence of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide. The labeled product lipoproteins showed unchanged chemical and physical properties. When the particles had also been labeled biologically by incorporation of unesterified fatty acids into the triglycerides of lipoproteins secreted by liver or intestine, both endogenous and exogenous labels were removed at the same rates in the isolated perfused heart and liver or in intact or functionally hepatectomized rats. These experiments additonally indicated that the triglyceride fatty acid composition of chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins was unchanged during triglyceride depletion in the peripheral tissues. Using such labeled lipoproteins it has been shown that uptake of remnant lipoprotein cholesteryl ester and triglyceride by the liver is simultaneous. The labeling procedure described should prove suitable for kinetic studies of the disposition of the various lipoprotein non-polar ('core') lipids.
