Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome; its rising prevalence parallels the rise in obesity and diabetes. Historically thought to result from overnutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, recent evidence suggests that diets high in sugar (from sucrose and/or high-fructose corn syrup [HFCS]) not only increase the risk of NAFLD, but also non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Herein, we review the experimental and clinical evidence that fructose precipitates fat accumulation in the liver, due to both increased lipogenesis and impaired fat oxidation. Recent evidence suggests that the predisposition to fatty liver is linked to the metabolism of fructose by fructokinase C, which results in ATP consumption, nucleotide turnover and uric acid generation that mediate fat accumulation. Alterations to gut permeability, the microbiome, and associated endotoxemia contribute to the risk of NAFLD and NASH. Early clinical studies suggest that reducing sugary beverages and total fructose intake, especially from added sugars, may have a significant benefit on reducing hepatic fat accumulation. We suggest larger, more definitive trials to determine if lowering sugar/HFCS intake, and/or blocking uric acid generation, may help reduce NAFLD and its downstream complications of cirrhosis and chronic liver disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uric acid is an independent risk factor in fructose-induced fatty liver, but whether it is a marker or a cause remains unknown. RESULTS Hepatocytes exposed to uric acid developed mitochondrial dysfunction and increased de novo lipogenesis, and its blockade prevented fructose-induced lipogenesis. CONCLUSION Rather than a consequence, uric acid induces fatty liver SIGNIFICANCE Hyperuricemic people are more prone to develop fructose-induced fatty liver. Metabolic syndrome represents a collection of abnormalities that includes fatty liver, and it currently affects one-third of the United States population and has become a major health concern worldwide. Fructose intake, primarily from added sugars in soft drinks, can induce fatty liver in animals and is epidemiologically associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in humans. Fructose is considered lipogenic due to its ability to generate triglycerides as a direct consequence of the metabolism of the fructose molecule. Here, we show that fructose also stimulates triglyceride synthesis via a purine-degrading pathway that is triggered from the rapid phosphorylation of fructose by fructokinase. Generated AMP enters into the purine degradation pathway through the activation of AMP deaminase resulting in uric acid production and the generation of mitochondrial oxidants. Mitochondrial oxidative stress results in the inhibition of aconitase in the Krebs cycle, resulting in the accumulation of citrate and the stimulation of ATP citrate lyase and fatty-acid synthase leading to de novo lipogeneis. These studies provide new insights into the pathogenesis of hepatic fat accumulation under normal and diseased states.

Abstract
The insulin-like effects of vanadium in vivo are likely to be achieved at micromolar concentrations. Demonstrated effects of vanadium on adipose tissue of streptozotocin-diabetic rats include inhibition of basal and stimulated rates of lipolysis and effects on fat cell protein phosphorylation. The studies described below examined the effects of vanadium (to a maximum concentration of 0.5 mM) on adipose cells or tissue in vitro. Vanadium, added as a vanadyl-albumin complex or as sodium orthovanadate, produced a marked (greater than 50%) inhibition of isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis. Inhibition of lipolysis equivalent to that seen with insulin, was achieved with approximately 100 microM vanadium. In contrast, no insulin-like stimulation of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis was observed with vanadium below 0.5 mM. Surprisingly, the antilipolytic effects of vanadium persisted in the presence of cilostamide, an inhibitor of the insulin-sensitive isoform of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Studies with purified preparations of the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase revealed dose-dependent inhibition with vanadyl-glutathione (to a maximum of approximately 40% inhibition). Equivalent inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of Kemptide (approximately 50%) was observed upon incubation of freshly-prepared fat-pad supernatant fractions with vanadyl-glutathione. These results suggest that effects of low concentrations of vanadium may be mediated, at least in part, by actions on the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) acutely increases serum triglyceride levels and stimulates hepatic lipid synthesis. In this study, we determined the effects of TNF on serum lipid levels and hepatic lipid synthesis in animals whose diets and feeding conditions were varied to induce changes in baseline serum lipid levels and/or rates of hepatic lipid synthesis. In animals studied at both the nadir and peak of the diurnal cycle of hepatic lipid synthesis, TNF acutely increases serum triglyceride levels, stimulates hepatic fatty acid synthesis, and increases the quantity of newly synthesized fatty acids found in the serum. Similarly, in animals ingesting either high-sucrose or cholesterol-enriched diets, TNF induces the characteristic rapid increase in serum triglyceride levels, hepatic fatty acid synthesis, and quantity of labeled fatty acids in the serum. In animals fed a diet high in triglycerides, using either corn oil or lard, TNF stimulates hepatic fatty acid synthesis and increases the quantity of newly synthesized fatty acids in the serum, but serum triglyceride levels do not change. However, TNF inhibits gastric emptying, which results in a marked decrease in fat absorption in TNF-treated animals. It is likely that a decrease in the dietary contribution to serum triglyceride levels during high-triglyceride feeding counterbalances the increased hepatic contribution induced by TNF treatment. In animals fasted before TNF administration there was no acute change in either serum lipid levels, hepatic fatty acid synthesis, or the quantity of labeled fatty acids in the serum. Thus, TNF stimulates hepatic fatty acid synthesis and increases serum triglyceride levels under many diverse dietary conditions, suggesting that there is a strong linkage between the immune system and lipid metabolism that is independent of most dietary manipulations and may be of fundamental importance in the body's response to infection.

Abstract
Triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver (fatty liver) caused by ethanol or carbon tetrachloride involves interactions with essential fatty acids and prostaglandins. The degree to which the fatty liver develops is dependent on total dietary fat intake. Both ethanol and carbon tetrachloride impair desaturation of linoleic acid and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid and this appears to be relevant to the pathogenesis of fatty liver from two points of view. First, low arachidonic acid in liver phospholipids is associated with increased liver triacylglycerol content whether caused by ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, or essential fatty acid deficiency. Second, essential fatty acids including gamma-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid, as well as the prostaglandins, prevent ethanol- and carbon tetrachloride-induced fatty liver. Arachidonic acid and possibly the prostaglandins are therefore likely to be directly involved in lipoprotein and triacylglycerol secretion by the liver.

Abstract
Changes in the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA) reductase were studied in primary cultures of adult-rat hepatocytes after exposure of the cells to insulin and/or carbohydrates. To determine the contribution of protein synthesis to changes in enzyme activity, the relative rate of synthesis of each enzyme was measured and the amount of translatable mRNA coding for the enzymes was determined by translation in vitro and immunoprecipitation. Addition of insulin to the culture medium increased the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and HMG-CoA reductase by approx. 4- and 3-fold respectively. Although similar increases in the relative rate of synthesis of each protein and template activity were noted, initial increases in the activity of each enzyme occurred before any changes in protein synthesis were observed, suggesting the involvement of post-translational modification of enzyme activity in addition to changes in protein synthesis. The addition of fructose to the culture medium, in the absence of insulin, increased the activity of the carboxylase and the reductase approx. 3-fold, similar to the effects of insulin. However, the effect of fructose was to increase the rate of synthesis and the amount of translatable mRNA coding for acetyl-CoA carboxylase, whereas the increase in the activity of HMG-CoA reductase was not accompanied by any changes in the rate of synthesis or template activity. The effects of fructose could not be mimicked by glucose unless insulin was also present in the culture medium. Similar to observations in vitro, the injection of insulin or the feeding of a high-fructose diet to rats made diabetic by the injection of streptozotocin produced an increase in the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and HMG-CoA reductase, and only the increase in the activity of the carboxylase was accompanied by an increase in the amount of translatable mRNA coding for the enzyme. The results are discussed in terms of the effects of fructose on the synthesis of enzymes involved in lipogenesis.

Abstract
The effects of 9 weeks of aerobic exercise training with maintenance of stable body weight upon insulin sensitivity and upon glucose, lipid, and lipoprotein concentrations were studied in 10 middle-aged men with mild hypertriglyceridemia. Following training, mean maximum oxygen consumption improved from 33.5 +/- 1.9 to 39.3 +/- 1.9 mL/kg/min (means +/- SEM), (P less than 0.01). Glucose concentrations, both fasting and during oral glucose tolerance testing, remained stable but both fasting insulin concentrations and insulin responses to oral glucose decreased (P less than 0.1 and less than 0.01, respectively). In vivo insulin sensitivity improved 25 +/- 6.1% (P less than 0.01) following training. Exercise training resulted in decreases in fasting serum triglyceride concentrations from 203 +/- 12.6 to 126 +/- 9.0 mg/dL (P less than 0.01), primarily as a result of the reduction in VLDL-triglycerides (P less than 0.01). The magnitude in percentage decrease of VLDL-triglycerides was found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.71, P less than 0.05) with the magnitude in percent increase in max VO2. Serum cholesterol levels declined from 211 +/- 8.9 to 193 +/- 11.9 mg/dL (P less than 0.01), and the ratio of HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol was improved. This study demonstrates that exercise training at a level of intensity feasible for many middle-aged men has beneficial effects on several factors that have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The relationship of VLDL lipid (cholesterol and triglycerides) levels to fasting and postglucose plasma glucose, plasma glucose, insulin, and free fatty acid (FFA) levels were examined in four subgroups of children (n = 311, ages 6 to 18 years) from a total biracial population whose earlier beta- or pre-beta-lipoprotein cholesterol levels (or both) were in the extreme quintiles or quartiles. High beta-lipoprotein cholesterol strata with or without elevated pre-beta-lipoprotein cholesterol showed significantly high levels of FFA and glucose response (mean, 30 and 60 minutes) to oral glucose load, whereas postglucose insulin responses were markedly higher in the high pre-beta-lipoprotein cholesterol strata. VLDL triglycerides related closely with fasting plasma glucose levels (r = 0.53 to 0.60, P less than 0.001) and to a lesser extent with postglucose plasma glucose response (r = 0.37 to 0.44, P less than 0.001) in all cases. For insulin and FFA, however, correlations were significant only in certain subgroups. Similar relationships were noted for VLDL cholesterol. Measurements relating to carbohydrate tolerance, age, and race accounted for 35% to 48% of the variability in VLDL lipid values. Surprisingly, fasting plasma glucose showed the highest partial regression coefficient for VLDL lipid in all subgroups except high pre-beta-lipoprotein cholesterol and low beta-lipoprotein cholesterol category, in which age was the major predictor variable. These results demonstrate that subtle abnormalities in the above-mentioned metabolic interrelationships are established early in life.

Abstract
The effect of insulin on hepatic triglyceride synthesis and secretion is controversial. Previously, we have described a cell culture system of adult rat hepatocytes that synthesize and secrete very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglycerides with small and irreproducible effects of insulin on triglyceride metabolism. To study the primary effects of insulin on hepatic triglyceride metabolism a method was developed utilizing fibronectin-coated culture dishes that allowed adhesion, spreading, and maintenance of hepatocytes for 2-3 d in the absence of serum and insulin. This culture system allowed mass measurements of both cellular and secreted VLDL triglycerides for long time periods after the addition of physiological concentrations of insulin to hormone-free culture medium. In the absence of insulin and after an initial 4 h in culture, the medium was replenished and triglyceride mass was measured at the end of 18-h incubations. VLDL triglyceride accumulated in the culture medium at a linear rate over this time-course with increasing accumulation as the medium glucose concentration was raised from 2.5 to 25 mM glucose (1.77+/-0.24 to 3.09+/-0.76 mug triglyceride/mg cell protein per h). There was no apparent significant lipolysis or hepatocellular reuptake of secreted VLDL triglycerides. In the absence of insulin cellular triglyceride levels were unchanged between 3 and 24 h in culture while insulin (50-500 muU/ml) significantly increased cellular triglyceride content at all glucose concentrations tested (0-25 mM). The addition of insulin to the culture medium progressively reduced the rate of VLDL triglyceride secretion accompanied by an increase in cellular triglyceride at insulin concentrations > 50 muU/ml. Most or all of the observed increase in cell triglyceride content could in all experiments be accounted for by the insulin-induced inhibition of VLDL secretion. Incorporation of [2-(3)H]glycerol into cellular and VLDL triglycerides as a function of insulin concentration was also measured. Glycerol incorporation data at 20-22 h after plating of the cells closely paralleled the insulin-induced changes in cellular and VLDL triglyceride as determined by mass analysis. The observed effects of insulin occurred at concentrations close to the physiological range and suggest that the direct hepatic effect is to suppress VLDL secretion although the net effect in vivo will clearly reflect many additional accompanying changes.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of our current knowledge of short-term regulation of triacylglycerol metabolism by insulin and glucagon in isolated rat hepatocytes. Insulin is devoted to rapidly improve the lipogenic climate of the hepatocyte. The hormone stimulates glycolysis, the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, the synthesis of fatty acids and their esterification. The opposite pathways, hydrolysis of triacylglycerols and fatty acid oxidation, are depressed by insulin. Glucagon does all but deteriorate the lipogenic climate within the liver cell as the hormone inhibits triacylglycerol synthesis and stimulates the breakdown of triacylglycerols.

Abstract
In vitro hepatic synthesis of lipids starting from (1-14C)acetate was investigated for 14 days in rats with biliary obstruction by ligation of the common bile duct using radio-thin-layer chromatography (radio-TLC). This study was correlated with a quantitative assay of the various hepatic lipids using TLC correlated with photodensitometry. Hepatic total lipid synthesis increased progressively with time. With concern to the single fractions, the major modifications were verified on the 3rd day with a decreased incorporation of the labelled acetate into the triglycerides. On the other hand, using photodensitometry, they demonstrated a percentage increase. These variations can be justified by the presence of a feedback mechanism. The syntheses of cholesterol and the other fractions were maximum during this period. Histologic examination revealed, especially on the 3rd day, a neoformation of biliary ductules and on the 14th day, a regression of these histological changes.

Abstract
The rate of entry of triacylglycerols into the circulation in lactating rats decreased after parturition and increased in mid-lactation. The decrease in entry rate after parturition may contribute to the disappearance of the hyperlipaemia of pregnancy. A method is described for the determination of the rate of entry in vivo of both triacylglycerols and lipid synthesized de novo.

Abstract
1. In livers from fed rats perfused with homologous whole blood of a haematocrit value of 37%, insulin decreased the perfusate concentrations of glucose and amino acids, production of ketone bodies (3-hydroxybutyrate + acetoacetate) and increased bile flow. 2. Perfusion with blood diluted with buffer to a haematocrit value of 17% decreased hepatic O2 consumption by 40-50%. Perfusate concentrations of glucose and lactate, the rate of ketogenesis and the ratios [lactate]/[pyruvate] and [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] were all increased. 3. In livers perfused with blood of diminished haematocrit, effects of insulin on perfusate glucose an amino acids, ketogenesis and bile flow were abolished.

Abstract
A patient with partial lipodystrophy is described in whom hypertriglyceridaemia was accompanied by marked hyperinsulinaemia. The hyperlipidaemia was due to increased plasma levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Kinetic studies, performed after injection of autologous radioiodinated VLDL, indicated that the raised VLDL levels were associated with over-production of this lipoprotein. Administration of diazoxide led to a substantial fall in serum insulin levels, accompanied by reduction in VLDL production and in serum triglyceride concentration. The possible role of insulin in inducing hyperlipidaemia by causing over-production of VLDL is discussed.

Abstract
The metabolism of varying quantities of oleic acid was examined in isolated perfused livers from normal fed rats and from animals made diabetic by pretreatment with guinea pig antiinsulin serum (AIS). The data presented reemphasize the fact that the quantity of free fatty acid (FFA) coming to the liver is a necessary, but not the most important, factor affecting the subsequent metabolism of the FFA. Rates of ketogenesis and output of triglyceride and the terminal concentration of hepatic triglyceride were proportional to uptake of FFA in certain concentration ranges. For equal rates of uptake of FFA, ketogenesis was greater, and the quantity of triglyceride secreted or accumulated within the liver was less, with livers from diabetic animals than with livers from normal animals. In confirmation of previous data, the liver was observed to have a maximal capacity to secrete triglyceride. Triglyceride accumulated in livers from normal-fed and diabetic animals only when uptake of FFA was more than sufficient to saturate the secretory process. Since proportionately more FFA was catabolized by livers from AIS treated animals, greater uptake of FFA was required to produce maximal rates of output of triglyceride and accumulation in livers from diabetic than from normal animals. Rates of ketogenesis by livers from normal fed animals increased minimally with increasing uptake of FFA (up to 1.0 mM free fatty acid). Even when uptake increased considerably with FFA concentrations of approximately 2.5 mM, rates of ketogenesis by livers from normal animals were less than half those of livers from diabetic rats, and maximal rates were not achieved by the normal controls. It is evident that changes in hepatic metabolism of FFA in the intact diabetic animal result from simultaneous alterations of supply of FFA and hormonally induced metabolic changes in the liver. Moreover, although hepatic secretion and accumulation of triglyceride is greater in isolated perfused livers from normal rats than from diabetic animals when the livers are exposed to equal quantities of FFA, the diabetic livers can accumulate more triglyceride, secrete more triglyceride, and oxidize more FFA to ketone bodies than can the normal under conditions in which considerably more substrate is available to the diabetic rather than to the normal livers. These differences might also be expected to occur in the acutely insulin deficient intact animal, in which changes in hormonal status and substrate (FFA) availability occur simultaneously, and might, in part, explain the ketonemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hepatic steatosis often observed in vivo.

Abstract
Recent information indicates that the capacity of man to store carbohydrate energy by transformation into fatty acids synthetized de novo is very limited in adipose tissue as well as in liver and intestine. This seems to be in contrast to other species such as the rat where de novo fatty acid synthesis can be induced to a high capacity of glucose removal. This leaves man with a limited capacity to store excess carbohydrate. The remaining possibilities are both the main glycogen stores in liver and in muscle. The latter is by far the largest. The capacity of muscle to assimilate glucose is dependent on its glycogen content that in turn is dependent on previous glycogen depletion to supply energy for muscle contraction. Man might, thus, be uniquely limited in the capacity to dispose of extra carbohydrate in the sedentary state. This might speculatively be thought to be an explanation for a carbohydrate excess syndrome in the sedentary state that may well increase the risk for obesity, hyperinsulinemia, and diabetes mellitus. The logical treatment for such a syndrome then is either a decreased intake of energy as carbohydrate or an increased disposal of carbohydrate energy by exercise. Exercise has, indeed, been shown to have such effects both after physical training programs and, perhaps more pertinent to the question, during a few days after a single exercise bout that has consumed a large amount of muscle glycogen.

Abstract
The supradiaphragmatic rat was used to investigate the metabolism by the extrahepatic tissues of endogenous plasma VLDL of d less than 1.006 g/ml. The demonstration that, at 20, 30 and 40 min after the isolation of the supradiaphragmatic rat, the VLDL lose respectively 29, 54, and 63% of their triglyceride provides evidence for the suitability of this preparation for the investigation of VLDL degradation. At all time intervals after the isolation of the supradiaphragmatic rat, VLDL triglyceride loss was accompanied by similar losses of cholesterol, protein and phospholipid, with the result that the percentage by weight composition of the residual VLDL remained unaltered. By subfractionation of the VLDL, a group of particles with an Sf range of 20--60 were isolated that, when compared with total VLDL, were enriched in their cholesterol (P less than 0.02), protein (P less than 0.001) and phospholipid (P less than 0.01) content. However, these particles represented only a small percentage of the total VLDL mass. Furthermore, their amount was not increased in the circulation of the supradiaphragmatic rat. The amount of IDL (d = 1.006--1.019 g/m) and of LDL (d = 1.019--1.063 g/ml) was increased in the supradiaphragmatic rat and a part of the total cholesterol and protein lost from the VLDL could be accounted for by the increases in these constituents in the IDL and LDL fractions. It is suggested that, although the liver probably takes up partial degradation products of VLDL in the intact animal, the extrahepatic tissues alone can metabolize VLDL to LDL of d = 1.019--1.063 g/ml. The lipoprotein particles taken up by the liver in the intact animal appear most likely to be those of Sf greater than 100.

Abstract
Plasma triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations were elevated in dogs after nephrectomy induced uremia. Plasma triglyceride concentrations remained constant during a 4-hour period of hemodialysis of uremic and non-uremic dogs against an acetate concentration of 39.5 mM (delivering 3 mEq/Kg/hr) plus infusion of 12.5 muCi/Kg/hr of acetate-1-14C, but rose progressively following dialysis. Radioactivities in plasma phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesteryl esters increased during dialysis and continued to rise in the post dialysis period, whereas 14C activity in free fatty acids and free cholesterol increased during dialysis and decreased post-dialysis. Acetate 14-C incorporation into plasma triglycerides was similar in the uremic and non-uremic groups, but incorporation into plasma cholesterol was higher in the uremics. Liver triglyceride concentrations and radioactivities at 12 hours were higher in the uremic dogs. At this time, adipose tissue 14C incorporation was also higher in uremic dogs but no differences were observed in aorta, heart or sciatic nerve incorporation. The results suggest that acetate may contribute to the increased plasma triglyceride concentrations observed following dialysis, and that uremia further accentuates acetate incorporation into plasma cholesterol and liver triglycerides.

Abstract
In order to elucidate the mechanism(s) of hyperlipidemia following glucocorticoid administration, dexamethasone (0.125 mg/Kg) was administered daily intramuscularly for 2 wk to male Sprague-Dawley rats and the effects on plasma triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (Chol), lipoprotein neutral lipids, hepatic triglyceride secretion rates (TGSR; Triton), and epididymal fat lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were determined. Special measures were taken to maintain positive caloric balance and keep the weights of control and dexamethasone-treated animals comparable. Significant increases (p less than 0.001) in TG and very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride associated with no change in Chol and actual reduction in both triglyceride and cholesterol in low density lipoprotein (ldl) were observed in the steroid-treated animals. Dexamethasone treatment was associated with increased basal insulin and glucose levels, an insignificant increment in TGSR, and a highly significant reduction (p less than 0.001) in LPL. These findings suggest that glucocorticoid treatment increases splanchnic triglyceride production rates, but the resulting hypertriglyceridemia is primarily a consequence of impaired VLDL removal due to low adipose tissue LPL activity.

Abstract
Serum lipoprotein (LP) concentrations were determined and LP patterns were classified in 261 middle-aged men, recruited from a health examination survey, with serum lipid values above the 80th percentile of the same population. Individuals with hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) and normolipidaemic controls were characterized also regarding family history of cardiovascular disease, socio-economic factors and clinical and laboratory variables. Subjects with HLP type IV-V and IIB were overweight and showed hyperuricaemia and hyperinsulinaemia compared with normolipidaemic controls and subjects with HLP type IIA. The latter showed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. In spite of being overweight, subjects with HLP type III showed normal fasting values of insulin and uric acid in serum and normal early insulin response to intravenous glucose. The glucose tolerance did not differ significantly between the groups. Men with HLP types IV-V had predominantly sedentary occupations, in contrast to those with type IIA. There were significantly more smokers in the groups with HLP type IIB and IV-V than in the control group. Thus, individuals with different types of HLP tend to show different metabolic profiles but also different socioeconomic and clinical patterns, suggesting that exogenous factors are of importance in the expression of the LP abnormalities.

Abstract
The faecal output of bile acids and endogenous neutral steroids was increased in three hypertriglyceridaemic patients. One patient had familail type IIb, one had type IV and the third had type V hyperlipoproteinaemia. The hyperlipidaemia in the type IV and type V patients was associated with diabetes and a high alcohol intake. The plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and the faecal output of bile acids decreased significantly when the type IIb patient was given D-thyroxine plus propranolol, and when the type IV and type V patients were treated by withdrawal of alcohol, a low=carbohydrate diet and insulin or glibenclamide. The findings are discussed in relation to the possibility that hypertriglyceridaemia and increased bile acid synthesis in these patients have a common metabolic origin.

Abstract
Four serial specimens over 18 months from a hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hypoglycaemia were studied by light microscopy. Ultrastructural study was possible for two of the specimens. Progressive fatty metamorphosis of the tumour cells was observed. The mechanism postulated was that of diversion of carbohydrate metabolism to lipogenesis due to enzyme disruption and dextrose infusion. The possibility of a defect in lipid transport was also considered.

Abstract
Fifty-three patients operated on for uncomplicated gallstone disease have been studied concerning the hepatic synthesis rate in vitro of glycerides and proteins. Thirteen of the patients had pre-beta hyperlipoproteinemia. Five of them and four normolipoproteinemic patients were fed a sucrose-enriched diet for two weeks prior to the operation. In the non-sucrose-fed hyperlipoproteinemic patients the liver concentration of triglycerides (TG) and the incorporation rate of precursors into TG were increased. A significant correlation was found between the synthesis rate of TG in liver tissue and the plasma TG concentration in these hyperlipoproteinemic patients. After sucrose feeding of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia the concentration of phosphoglycerides (PG) the incorporation rate of labelled precursors in PG were significantly lower than in normolipoproteinemic patients and in hyperlipoproteinemic patients on an ordinary diet. The incorporation rate of leucine into hepatic proteins and the hepatic protein concentration were the same in non-sucrose-fed controls, sucrose-fed, and non-sucrose-fed hyperlipoproteinemic patients. The results indicate an increased vulnerability of the hepatic PG and protein metabolism for dietary sucrose in patients with pre-beta hyperlipoproteinemia.

Abstract
A combined ultrastructural and functional approach was employed to define the effects of duration of diabetes and of diet on various aspects of lipid metabolism in rats with severe streptozotocin (SZ)-induced insulin deficiency. Plasma triglyceride (TG) levels rose to a mean of 479 mg/100 ml 24 h after SZ administration in rats eating a fat-free, high carbohydrate diet as compared to a mean of 324 mg/100 ml in rats eating a high fat diet. These changes were associated with a commensurate increase in hepatocyte Golgi very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) content, but only a small increase in estimates of VLDL-TG secretion rate (post-Triton WR 1339 increment in plasma TG level). Although these findings are consistent with the thesis that VLDL-TG synthesis and secretion are increased 24 h after administration of SZ, it seemed unlikely that the observed increase in VLDL-TG secretion could entirely account for the severity of the hypertriglyceridemia. Thus, although lipoprotein removal rate was not measured directly, it was necessary to postulate that a defect in VLDL-TG removal was also present at this stage. Hypertriglyceridemia was still present 7 days later, only in this instance plasma TG levels were higher in rats eating the high fat diet (a mean of 589 mg/100 ml, as compared to 263 mg/100 ml). Rats with diabetes of 7-day duration had a 50% decrease in both TG entry rate and hepatocyte Golgi complex VLDL content, irrespective of diet. Thus, there was no evidence of increased VLDL-TG secretion in chronic insulin deficiency. In this instance, although not assessed directly, it was necessary to postulate that the hypertriglyceridemia in chronically insulin-deficient rats is due entirely to a defect in lipoprotein removal, involving both dietary and endogenous fat.

Abstract
The rise in adipose-tissue clearing-factor lipase activity that results from feeding glucose to starved rats cannot be duplicated by giving equicaloric amounts of fructose or sucrose. An inability of the administered fructose and sucrose to raise the plasma insulin concentration probably accounts for this failure in enzyme response.
