A 3-week fish oil diet induced in weanling rats a decrease in plasma lipids and liver triacylglycerol, and an increase in insulinemia, compared to a corn oil diet. At the same time, plasma apolipoprotein (apo) A-I was slightly lower and plasma heavy apo B/light apo B ratio was higher in fish-oil-fed than in corn-oil-fed rats. Hepatocytes obtained from fish-oil-fed and corn-oil-fed rats were used to examine how fish oil affects lipid and apolipoprotein synthesis and secretion. Primary culture of hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats displayed a lower ability to synthesize and secrete triacylglycerol than hepatocytes from corn-oil-fed rats, as measured by mass determination or [U-14C]glycerol incorporation. Hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats exhibited a lower synthesis of cholesterol, measured by [14C]acetate incorporation, than hepatocytes from corn-oil-fed rats. This impairment was associated with an increase in beta-oxidation, a higher channeling of oleic acid into phospholipids, and a lower triacylglycerol//diacylglycerol ratio in hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats than in hepatocytes from corn-oil-fed rats. Incorporation of [35S]methionine into secreted apoB was reduced in hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats, but was not paralleled by a decrease in apo B mRNA. The appearance of degradative forms of apo B suggest an increase in apo B degradation in hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats. Incorporation of [35Slmethionine into cellular and secreted apo A-I was lower in hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats than in hepatocytes from corn-oil-fed rats, and was not paralleled by any difference in the apo A-I mRNA level. Finally, [35Slmethionine incorporation into cellular and secreted forms of apo E and apo A-I mRNA were reduced in hepatocytes from fish-oil-fed rats, compared with hepatocytes from corn-oil-fed rats. These combined data show that fish oil diet reduces triacylglycerol synthesis and secretion and affects apo B synthesis at a post-transcriptional level, and reduces cholesterol synthesis and affects apo E and apo A-I synthesis at a transcriptional and a post-transcriptional level.
