摘要：Biliary cholesterol secretion is ordinarily tightly coupled to phosphatidylcholine (PC) secretion. Bile PCs are distinct in composition and predominantly composed of molecular species with 16:0 in the sn-1 position and 18:2 and 18:1 in the sn-2 position. In an attempt to acutely change the composition of biliary PCs and to assess the effect of a change in PCs on biliary cholesterol secretion, isolated livers were perfused with a variety of single free fatty acids. Rat livers with bile duct cannulas were perfused with a recirculating medium, taurocholate (40 mumol/h), and albumin-bound 16:1, 17:1, 18:1, 20:1, 18:2, 20:4, or 20:5 fatty acids (90 mumol/h) for 2 h. Biliary lipid secretion was measured and bile and liver PC compositions were compared at the start and end of perfusion. Results showed 1) greater utilization of shorter chain than longer chain fatty acids for bile PC formation (16:1 greater than 17:1 greater than 18:2 or 18:1 greater than 20:5, 20:4 or 20:1); 2) no similar pattern of FA utilization for liver PC formation; 3) preferentially greater incorporation of fatty acids into bile PCs compared to liver PCs when perfused fatty acids were used for esterification at both sn-1 and sn-2 positions of PC (to form diunsaturated PCs); and 4) increased biliary secretion of cholesterol relative to PC only when the population of PCs that was newly formed included more hydrophilic molecular species of PC than are present in native bile (that was observed only with perfusion of 16:1). Changes in biliary PC secretion or cholesterol/PC secretion occurred independently of any change in bile salt secretion.( TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
