摘要：Fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue normally proceeds at a high rate when fasted animals are refed a diet containing carbohydrate, protein, and low levels of fat. This study investigated the effect of omitting protein from the refeeding diet. Rats were fasted for 48 hr and refed either a protein-free diet or a balanced diet, and the rate of fatty acid synthesis from glucose, pyruvate, lactate, and aspartate was measured. Refeeding the animals a diet devoid of protein resulted in a low rate of fatty acid synthesis from each of these substrates as well as a reduction in carbon flow over the citrate cleavage pathway. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and ATP-citrate lyase were also reduced in epididymal fat pads from these rats. On the other hand, adipose tissue phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity was five times as great as that in tissue from animals refed a balanced diet. This difference could be eliminated if actinomycin D was injected coincident with refeeding. Refeeding rats diets high in carbohydrate is not, therefore, capable of inducing high rates of fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue in the absence of dietary proteins. Thus, liver and adipose tissue respond differently to dietary protein.
