Paradoxical effect of ethanol on liver lipogenesis in the genetically-obese Zucker rat. 1985

C Karsenty, and M Ulmer, and F Chanussot, and R Ratanasavanh, and G Debry

Sixteen obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats, sixteen lean (Fa/-) Zucker rats and sixteen Wistar rats, all male rats aged 7-8 weeks, were given either a control (C) diet containing no ethanol or an ethanol (E) diet in which 36% of the energy was supplied by ethanol, for a period of 4 weeks. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) and glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30) and the glycogen content in the livers of obese (fa/fa) rats were lower in animals given diet E than in those given diet C. As a result, hepatic lipogenesis and fatty degeneration of the liver were reduced in obese (fa/fa) rats given diet E.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
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
D008297 Male Males
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

D011924 Rats, Zucker Two populations of Zucker rats have been cited in research--the "fatty" or obese and the lean. The "fatty" rat (Rattus norvegicus) appeared as a spontaneous mutant. The obese condition appears to be due to a single recessive gene. Zucker Rat,Zucker Rats,Rat, Zucker

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
