title: Lipid synthesis and lipoprotein secretion by chick liver cells in culture: influence of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I.
abstract: 1. Chick liver cells were incubated in unsupplemented medium (control), or medium supplanted with either 1 microgram/ml pituitary derived chicken growth hormone (GH), 50 ng/ml recombinant human insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I), or 1 microgram growth hormone/ml and 50 ng insulin like growth factor-I/ml (GH + IGF-I). 2. GH supplementation stimulated acetate incorporation into liver cell lipid. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) lipid secretion was increased quantitatively by GH. 3. Cells incubated with IGF-I incorporated more acetate into lipid and secreted more lipid as VLDL and HDL than controls. 4. A metabolic antagonism between GH and IGF-I was evident with respect to lipogenesis. 5. Neither GH nor IGF-I altered, quantitatively, cell protein synthesis or apoprotein secretion.
