title: The involvement of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and phospholipase A activities in the control of hepatic glycerolipid synthesis. Effects of acute feeding with glucose, fructose, sorbitol, glycerol and ethanol.
abstract: Rats were fed by stomach tube with a single dose of glucose, sorbitol, fructose, glycerol or ethanol of equivalent energy contents or with 0.15 M-NaCl. They were killed 6 h later and the relative rates of phosphatidate deacylation and dephosphorylation measured in the microsomal and supernatant fractions of the livers. Treatment with sorbitol, fructose, glycerol and ethanol increased phosphohydrolase activities in the microsomal and supernatant fractions. The only significant change in deacylase activity was an increase in the microsomal fraction produced by ethanol. It is proposed that hepatic triacylglycerol synthesis is partly controlled by the balance between phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and phospholipase A-type activities.
