摘要:Factors influencing the utilization of ketone bodies by mouse adipose tissue in vitro were studied. Epididymal fat pads can oxidize dl -β-hydroxybutyrate-3-14C and acetoacetate-3-14C to 14CO2 as well as convert these compounds to fatty acid-14C. An increased output of 14CO2 from β-hydroxybutyrate-3-14C was noted in response to glucose plus insulin, succinate, oxaloacetate, l -asparate, and l -malate. Fatty acid synthesis from β-hydroxybutyrate was enhanced by glucose plus insulin, l -aspartate, l -malate, oxaloacetate, and citrate. Nicotinamide stimulated the oxidation of β-hydroxybutyrate but not of acetoacetate to CO2, and did not affect fatty acid synthesis from either ketone body. Nicotinamide increased NAD+ and NADP+ levels in epididymal fat pads without affecting the concentration of NADH and NADPH. “Superlipogenesis” caused by fasting the mice for 48 hr and re-feeding them for 24 hr sharply enhanced CO2 output and lipogenesis from β-hydroxybutyrate. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, NADP-malic dehydrogenase, and citrate cleavage enzyme from mouse adipose tissue were increased during “superlipogenesis.” Free fatty acid release by epididymal fat pads in vitro was slightly increased by β-hydroxybutyrate. The relationship of ketone body metabolism and lipogenesis in adipose tissue is discussed.
