Regulation of hepatic lipogenesis by plasma free fatty acids: simultaneous studies on lipoprotein secretion, cholesterol synthesis, ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis (Short Communication)

PMCID: PMC1167977  PMID: 4375470

Abstract

1. An inverse logarithmic relationship was found between lipogenesis and the concentration of serum free fatty acids perfusing the rat liver. 2. Increased concentrations of serum free fatty acids did not alter cholesterol synthesis, triglyceride secretion or increase gluconeogenesis. 3. No direct relationship was found between ketogenesis and either lipogenesis or gluconeogenesis.
