To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the plasma triacylglycerol-lowering effects of certain fish oils, livers from male rats fed either a standard commercial diet (controls) or diets supplemented with 15% (w/w) fish or safflower oils were perfused with undiluted rat blood. Rates of hepatic lipogenesis, measured by the incorporation of 3H2O into fatty acids, followed the order: control greater than safflower oil greater than fish oil. Secretion of newly synthesized fatty acids in very-low-density lipoproteins was also inhibited by the feeding of both oil-supplemented diets with the greater suppression being seen in livers from animals fed fish oil. The hepatic release of very-low-density lipoprotein triacylglycerol mass was also significantly depressed in animals fed the fish oil-supplemented diet but not in those fed safflower oil. Ketogenesis did not differ between livers from rats fed the control and safflower oil diets but was significantly raised in the fish oil group. Increased ketogenesis with fish oil was paralleled by a decrease in the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyl transferase of isolated mitochondria to inhibition by malonyl-CoA. The inhibitory effect of malonyl-CoA in the safflower oil group was intermediate between that in the fish oil and control groups. Activities of glycerophosphate acyltransferase with either palmitoyl-CoA or oleyl-CoA were increased by feeding oil-supplemented diets. Activity with palmitoyl-CoA that was suppressible by N-ethylmaleimide was also considerably diminished in both groups. The results indicate that the lowering of plasma triacylglycerols by fish oil reflects: (a) diminished lipogenesis; (b) increased fatty acid oxidation possibly in peroxisomes; and (c) diminished secretion of triacylglycerols by the liver.
