Mode of Influence Exerted by Diverse Carbohydrate Diets on the Formation of Fatty Acids in the Organs of Rats (O Mekhanizme Vliyaniya Razlichnykh Vglevodnykh Diet na Obrazovanie Zhirnykh Kislot v Organskh Krys),
Abstract
Excess amounts of complex carbohydrates in a food ration of high standard caloric value bring on after 30 days of testing an increase of the fatty acid content in the liver, blood and aorta, along with intensified activity of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase and accelerated incorporation of 1-6C14-glucose and 2-C14-acetate into fatty acids of the liver. Substitution of sucrose for a portion of starch in a high standard food ration gives rise to analogous changes with a somewhat more notable increase in the amount of fatty acids in the blood and the aorta. The recorded rise of pyruvic, oxalacetic and alpha-keto-glutaric acids in the liver of rats receiving sucrose in the diet could be consequent to the specific effect of fructose and possible stimulation of the insular system leading to accelerated glycolysis, suppression of gluconeogenetic enzyme synthesis and transamination.
