Abstract
Liver slices, from mice fasted for one day and then refed for three days either a 15% corn oil diet or a 15% corn oil diet containing eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraynoic acid (TYA), were incubated with [1-14C] acetate or [3H] H2O to determine lipogenic capacity. Dietary TYA produced a twofold stimulation in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. TYA also caused an increase in the relative proportion of linoleate (C18:2) and a decrease in that of arachidonate (C20:4) in liver. Thus, (a) despite high levels of C18:2, hepatic lipogenesis can be increased, and (b) even short term feeding of TYA can alter the hepatic fatty acid composition presumably by inhibition of arachidonate synthesis from linoleate.
