The influence of three different dietary fats (8%) and of endogenous lipid peroxidation with regard to cholesterol concentrations in liver mitochondria and microsomes and in serum has been investigated in the rat. Although the different diet fat used did not produce any effect on serum cholesterol, it was possible to show that each experimental diet differently influenced the microsomal and mitochondrial levels of cholesterol. The highest mitochondrial and microsomal cholesterol content was found in case of diet supplemented with virgin olive oil and the lowest with rectified olive oil. An endogenous oxidative stress induced by adriamycin was able to produce a clear decrease in microsomal and mitochondrial cholesterol level and a sharp increase in serum concentration in all three groups. However, dietary fats and adriamycin had no effect on the microsomal and mitochondrial membrane viscosity as detected by fluorescence polarization. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that mitochondrial and microsomal cholesterol can exchange with exogenous pools when phospholipid peroxidation occurs.
