Loss of the lipoprotein lipase activating ability of rat serum after administration of some fatty liver inducing drugs.
The effects of the administration of different fatty liver inducing drugs on the serum lipoprotein lipase activating ability was investigated in rats. Addition of serum from 2-mercaptoethanol-, 2-mercaptoacetate-, ethionine- or D-galactosamine- treated rats failed to activate heart and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase from control rats. The activating effect of serum was only slightly reduced in isopropanol-treated rats, whereas it was found unaffected in ethanol-treated ones. Electrophoresis of the lipoproteins and of the very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) fraction of sera from 2-mercaptoethanol-, 2-mercaptoacetate-, isopropanol-, ethionine- and D-galactosamine-treated rats suggest that the lack of lipoprotein lipase activation ability of these sera is most probably related to the impairing effects of these drugs upon VLDL metabolism, i.e. reduction of VLDL secretion in the case of 2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptoacetate and isopropanol, production of abnormal VLDL in the case of D-galactosamine and both decreased VLDL secretion and production of abnormal VLDL in the case of ethionine.
