Analyses on lipid-rich organelles of the rat liver after bile duct ligation. 1987

H Hayashi, and A Sasa, and A Yagi, and S Ohguchi, and R Kidokoro, and N Sakamoto

A fraction of lipid-rich organelles of rat livers was analyzed to study the effect of bile duct ligation on lipid metabolism. The lipid fraction of the control rats consisted mainly of Golgi-derived dense bodies. Three days after the ligation, myelin-like figures and increased phospholipids and cholesterol were characteristic of the fraction. Two weeks ligation resulted in proliferation of lysosomal electron dense bodies. As their volume density expanded, phospholipids and cholesterol increased. Electrophoresis indicated a reduced rate of VLDL assembly after ligation. The Golgi-dominant phase is converted to the lysosomal phase in the heavy subfraction after the bile duct ligation. This subcellular change could be a consequence of secondary lipidosis: hepatocyte lysosomes have been exhausted in sorting accumulated lipids into secretory lipoproteins.

D008026 Ligation Application of a ligature to tie a vessel or strangulate a part. Ligature,Ligations,Ligatures
D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION.

D008297 Male Males
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D009940 Organoids An organization of cells into an organ-like structure. Organoids can be generated in culture, e.g., self-organized three-dimensional tissue structures derived from STEM CELLS (see MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). They are also found in certain NEOPLASMS. Organoid
