The effect of ingesting isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets with increasing amounts of lipid (0-30%) and consequently decreasing amounts of carbohydrates (68.7-1.25%) on the exocrine pancreas was studied in adult male Wistar rats. Pancreatic contents of chymotrypsin, lipase and colipase activity, as well as synthesis of amylase, lipase, procarboxypeptidases and individual serine proteases were examined. Lipid-free diets and diets containing 1% lipid were found to have little effect on pancreatic proteins as compared with lipid-rich diets where two distinct patterns of response were observed. Ingestion of diets containing 3-20% lipid resulted in a progressive increase in the activity of lipase, colipase and chymotrypsin up to 2-fold in the first case and 1.6-fold in the two other cases when animals were fed the 20% fat diet. Under the latter conditions, the relative synthesis of secretory proteins, as expressed as percentage of the radioactivity incorporated into individual proteins compared to that incorporated into the total mixture of exocrine proteins, was unchanged for procarboxypeptidases, whereas it was stimulated for lipase (2-fold) and serine proteases (1.6-fold). Amylase relative synthesis progressively decreased as the lipid content of diets increased. Consumption of hyperlipidic diets containing 25% and 30% fat resulted in a further enhancement in the activity of lipase and colipase in the gland in contrast with chymotrypsin activity which was unchanged as compared to the control diet (3% lipid). As far as biosynthesis was concerned, a plateau in the relative synthesis of lipase and serine protease was reached. Amylase relative synthesis further decreased down to 2.2-fold when rats were fed the 30% fat-rich diet whereas that of procarboxypeptidases was markedly increased (about 1.7-fold). Absolute rates of synthesis of total pancreatic secretory proteins, as expressed with regard to the DNA content of the tissue, indicated that biosynthesis of all secretory pancreatic proteins was stimulated by hyperlipidic diets (at least 2-fold with the 30% lipid diet). Consequently, when such an increase was taken into consideration, the absolute synthesis of amylase was found to be unchanged throughout the dietary manipulations, whereas that of lipase, procarboxypeptidases and serine proteases were stimulated by 4.0-fold, 3.4-fold and 3.2-fold, respectively.
