摘要：We have validated a radiochemical technique for measuring the rate of secretion of plasma triglycerides from the liver and/or splanchnic region during the consumption of glucose under isotopic steady-state conditions. Values obtained with this technique correlated closely with those based on transhepatic or transsplanchnic chemical gradients (r = 0.95). Likewise, values for secretion of triglycerides obtained with the radiochemical technique correlated closely with those obtained for extrahepatic or extrasplanchnic triglyceride clearance. Values for mean net splanchnic and hepatic secretion of plasma triglyceride fatty acids, transported essentially in very low density lipoproteins, were 1.9 and 2.0 mumoles/min.kg body wt0.75, respectively, about one-half of the rate of transport of free fatty acids. However, the fraction of triglyceride fatty acids of plasma very low density lipoproteins that was derived from plasma free fatty acids averaged 9% and that derived from glucose, though increasing with time, reached only 2% after constant intravenous infusion of radioglucose for 5 hr. Porcine hepatic secretion of plasma triglycerides is large in the glucose-fed state, and the secreted triglyceride fatty acids evidently are derived from stored fat or glycon.
