title: Intestinal synthesis and lymphatic secretion of apolipoprotein A-IV after cessation of duodenal fat infusion: mediation by bile.
abstract: We tested whether secretion of apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV depends upon intestinal triglyceride (TG) transport by comparing output kinetics of TG and apo A-IV during and after duodenal lipid infusion in lymph-fistula rats. Lipid infusion (triolein, 40 mumol/h, 8 h) produced increases in lymphatic TG and apo A-IV output. After 8 h, triolein infusate was replaced with glucose-saline; TG output returned to basal levels 4-5 h later. However, apo A-IV output continued at significantly elevated levels until 20 h after the start of the experiment. Bile diversion blocked this continued output of A-IV during the post-lipid period, and resulted in basal TG output that was 75% lower than in bile-intact rats. Return of bile or low-dose triolein infusion (5 mumol/h) into the intestine reversed these effects. There were no differences in hepatic synthesis or filtration of plasma A-IV into lymph between bile-intact and bile-diverted groups. Intestinal A-IV synthesis was elevated in both groups even during the post-lipid period. The results support the hypothesis that intestinal triglyceride transport drives apo A-IV secretion, and suggest the existence of a bile-dependent, post-translational mechanism for the control of lymphatic apo A-IV output.
