Abstract
A high cholesterol diet was found to induce fatty liver in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Although cholesterol ester and triacylglycerol accumulated in large amounts in liver, the increases of these lipids in plasma were relatively small and no increase in cholesterol and cholesterol ester was observed in aorta. In rats fed normal diet, plasma cholesterol ester mainly consisted of arachidonate species; however, oleate and linoleate esters became the most prominent species in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. The amounts of oleate and linoleat at the 2-position of phosphatidylcholine in both plasma and liver were increased slightly, but the fatty acids of aorta lipids changed little by feeding a high cholesterol diet. These results indicate that the livers of rats fed the high cholesterol diet do not secrete cholesterol ester and triacylglycerol with altered fatty acids as rapidly as they are synthesized and that the increased levels of cholesterol oleate in liver and plasma are not directly correlated with atherogenic lesions under these conditions.
