Extrahepatic fatty acid synthesis from a 250 mg meal of [U-14C]-glucose was measured in epidymal fat pads and the remaining carcass of hyperglycemic obese (obob), gold thioglucose obese, and nonobese controls under conditions of maximum and minimum lipogenesis. Also assessed was the effect of delta22-5beta-taurocholenic acid, previously shown to inhibit hepatic fatty acid synthesis. Both types of obese and nonobese mice were fed for 6 weeks glucose-based diets containing either 1% corn oil or 40% lard with or without the addition of 0.05% taurocholenic acid. In mice fed 1% corn oil, incorporation of labeled glucose into carcass fatty acids was 25% greater in nonobese than obese mice of either type of obesity. On this diet incorporation of labeled glucose into epididymal fatty acids was reduced 83% in hyperglycemic obese mice compared with nonobese littermates. The corresponding reduction in lipogenesis in gold thioglucose obese mice was only 23% compared with nonobese controls. Feeding 40% lard reduced incorporation of labeled glucose into epididymal and carcass fatty acid 67 to 95% compared with mice fed 1% corn oil in both types of obese and nonobese mice whether or not taurocholenic acid had been fed. Both types of obesity or feeding 40% lard reduced lipogenesis in fat pads to a greater extent than glucose uptake by the pads with the reductions additive. Feeding taurocholenic acid reduced pad weight 30% across strain and obesity status, increased uptake of labeled glucose into epididymal fat pads and increased the percentage of the labeled glucose in the pad recovered as fatty acid in both types of obese and nonobese mice when the diet was 1% corn oil. Similarities and differences between the two obesity models are discussed.
