| Popis: | Earlier studies suggested that the secretory rate maximum (SRm) of bile acid and the cholestasis which occurs after the SRm is reached may be determined by the hepatic or extrahepatic biliary phospholipid pool. We therefore investigated whether bile formation and the bile acid SRm could be influenced by feeding a diet enriched in phospholipids. Male rats were fed phospholipid (PLD) or triacylglycerol (TgD)-enriched diet for 3 days, and bile formation as well as biliary lipid output were measured on the 4th day. In other similarly fed groups, cholic acid was infused in stepwise increasing doses to determine the effect of PLD on the SRm of cholic acid. The plasma lipid levels were significantly lower in PLD and TgD diets compared to basal diet. But, while the levels of total cholesterol (CH), HDL-CH, and phospholipid (PH) were not significantly altered by PLD compared to TgD, the triacylglycerol levels were markedly increased by PLD. In the liver of PLD fed rats, triacylglycerol and CH ester contents decreased by 39 and 62%, respectively, while free CH and PH contents were not significantly changed. The PLD significantly augmented spontaneous bile flow, bile acid, PH and CH secretion rates compared to TgD diet (65, 124, 164 and 654%, respectively). The enhanced biliary secretory function was associated with an increase in pericanalicular vacuoles and diverticuli in centrilobular hepatocytes. Compared to TgD fed rats, PLD rats showed a 2-fold decrease in the ratio of cholic acid/chenodeoxycholic acid in bile and a significant decrease in the % contribution of taurine conjugated BA. The PH fatty acids in bile were similar in both groups except that in PLD group the % contribution of C18:2 was higher than in TgD group. No differences were found in plasma membrane CH/PH content or total fatty acid composition. During bile acid infusion, the SRm and the total cholic acid secreted were significantly higher in the PLD than in the TgD rats. Moreover, the cholestatic response observed after high bile acid dose was markedly reduced by PLD. The results show that short-term feeding of PLD induces changes in CH and bile acid metabolism which result in enhanced biliary output of CH and PH. The enhanced pool of biliary lipid may protect plasma membranes from the deleterious effects of high bile acid concentrations. |
