Modification of Lipemic Responses to an Alcohol-Corn Oil Mixture

Abstract

Chronic ingestion of 15% (w/v) alcohol in lieu of drinking water in rats fed ad libitum failed to modify the usual lipemic response to a single dose of corn oil-alcohol mixture. The rise in plasma triglycerides was associated with an increase in their 14C-specific activity indicating that the additional plasma lipids were derived from the 14C-labeled dietary fat. The lipemic response was, however, markedly reduced by restricting the food intake of the animals to 2 hours/day.
