Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to assess whether diets enriched in cholesterol, sodium cholate and drugs known to modify liver cholesterol biosynthesis can modulate hepatic lipase (H-TGL) expression and activity in vivo. Female lean Zucker rats, known to be good responders to cholesterol, were fed for 7 days with a control C diet or the C diet supplemented (w/w) with either 2% cholesterol, 0.5% sodium cholate, 2% cholestyramine or simvastatin (0.1%) added to the cholestyramine diet or given by gavage (10 mg/rat) for 3 days. H-TGL activity decreased by 34% with cholesterol, and by 27% when both cholesterol and cholate were administered to the rats. Under these conditions, H-TGL mRNA decreased by 34% and 87%, respectively. The sharp decrease in H-TGL expression was associated with a strong increase in cholesteryl ester in total liver and in the liver microsome fraction. H-TGL activity decreased by 33% with cholestyramine and the mRNA level decreased by 47%. Simvastatin lowered H-TGL activity by 55% when added to the cholestyramine diet, probably because of a reduction in food intake. When administrated by gavage, simvastatin increased both the H-TGL activity (by 28%) and mRNA (by 23%). These variations may be linked to the availability of mevalonate-derived sterol and non-sterol products.
