Lipoproteins do not influence cholesterol synthesis in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes, cautionary note
1991
Geelen, M.J.H. | Beynen, A.C. | Paays, C.H.C.
1. Suspensions of freshly isolated rat hepatocytes were used to study the effects of native and derivatized lipoproteins on the rate of cholesterogenesis. 2. Short-term incubation of the hepatocytes with a variety of lipoproteins failed to modify the rate of cholesterol synthesis as determined by the incorporation of tritium from tritiated water into cholesterol after separation from other lipids by thin-layer chromatography. 3. Neither an increase in the cholesterol content of the particles (beta-very-low-density lipoproteins) nor derivatization of the lipoproteins (lactosylated-low-density lipoproteins or high-density lipoproteins associated with a tris-galactoside-terminated cholesterol derivative) nor cholesterol-containing liposomes were effective in this respect. 4. Whether this behaviour represents an artefact of the isolated hepatocyte preparation is unknown yet.
