AbstractDietary palmitic acid (PA) promotes liver fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Herein, we clarified the intestinal absorption kinetics of dietary PA and effect of trans-portal PA on the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) involved in liver fibrosis in NASH. Blood PA levels after meals were significantly increased in patients with NASH compared to those in the control. Expression of genes associated with fat absorption and chylomicron formation, such as CD36 and MTP, was significantly increased in the intestine of NASH model rats compared with that in the controls. Plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-2, involved in the upregulation of CD36 expression, were elevated in NASH rats compared with those in the controls. Furthermore, portal PA levels after meals in NASH rats were significantly higher than those in control and nonalcoholic fatty liver rats. Moreover, PA injection into the portal vein to the liver in control rats increased the mRNA levels associated with the activation of HSCs. Increased intestinal absorption of diet-derived PA was observed in NASH. Thus, the rapid increase in PA levels via the portal vein to the liver may activate HSCs and affect the development of liver fibrosis in NASH.

Rainbow trout, fed or starved for 5 weeks, were force-fed 23 μCi 1-14C-palmitic acid and sacrificed at [Formula: see text], 1, 2, 4, 8, and 14 h after feeding. Analysis of the blood suggested that trout possess an intestinal absorption mechanism for lipid that is very different from that found in other animals. The fish, incapable of delivering triglyceride to its circulation in the usual way, receives most of its absorbed lipid as free fatty acids, probably via the portal system. It was also found that light muscle more easily yielded its triglyceride stores, in agreement with its role as the major lipid depot in trout. Nonetheless, dark muscle was metabolically more active in deposition of muscle lipids. Dark muscle appeared to function more as an organ than a kinetically responsible contractile body.
