title: Effects of amino-acid composition of the medium and addition of fatty-acid derivatives on the induction of lipogenic enzymes in cultured hepatocytes.
abstract: Effects of essential and non-essential amino acids on induction of lipogenic enzymes were investigated in cultured rat hepatocytes. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was markedly induced by the addition of essential amino acids alone to the cultured medium, but was not induced by non-essential amino acids. Fatty-acid synthetase was also markedly induced by a combination of both amino-acid types (more than by either type of amino acid alone). However, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and malic enzyme were slightly induced by the addition of essential and/or non-essential amino acids. When various kinds of fatty acids were individually added to the medium, the lipid-dependent decreases in lipogenic enzyme inductions were in the following order: 18:2 greater than 20:4 greater than 18:1 greater than 16:0. When either linoleic acid, linoleoyl-CoA or trilinolein was added to the medium, linoleic acid was more effective as an inhibitor of the induction, without impairing the viability of cells.
