摘要：The effects of dietary sesamin (a mixture of sesamin and episesamin, 1: 1, w/w) on ketone body production and lipid secretion were studied in isolated perfused liver from rats given sesamin. Feeding sesamin at the dietary level of 0.2% from 14 to 16 d resulted in an enlargement of liver weight. Ketone body production was significantly elevated in the livers perfused with oleic acid in comparison with those perfused without an exogenous-free fatty acid, and sesamin feeding caused a stimulation of ketone body production, especially when exogenous oleic acid was provided. On the other hand, the ratio of fl-hydroxybutyrate to aceto-acetate, an index of mitochondrial redox potential, tended to increase in the livers perfused with oleic acid compared with those without fatty acid, though it was consistently lowered by dietary sesamin. The cumulative secretion of triacylglycerol, but not of cholesterol, by the livers from sesamin-fed rats was decreased markedly, especially when exogenous oleic acid was provided, suggesting an inverse relationship between the rates of ketogenesis and triacylglycerol secretion. These results suggest that dietary sesamin exerts its hypotriglyceridemic effect at least in part through an enhanced metabolism of exogenous-free fatty acid to oxidation at the expense of esterification in rat liver.
