Intestinal Lipoprotein Production Is Stimulated by an Acute Elevation of Plasma Free Fatty Acids in the Fasting State: Studies in Insulin-Resistant and Insulin-Sensitized Syrian Golden Hamsters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It is not known whether intestinal lipoprotein production is stimulated by an acute elevation of plasma free fatty acids (FFA). We examined the effect of an intralipid and heparin infusion on the intestinal lipoprotein production rate (PR) in insulin-sensitive [chow-fed (CHOW)], insulin-resistant [60% fructose (FRUC) or 60% fat-fed (FAT)], and insulin-sensitized [FRUC or FAT plus rosiglitazone (RSG)-treated] Syrian Golden hamsters. After 5 wk of treatment, overnight-fasted hamsters underwent in vivo Triton WR-1339 studies for measurement of apolipoprotein B48 (apoB48) PR in large (Svedberg unit, >400) and small (Svedberg unit, 100-400) lipoprotein fractions, with an antecedent 90-min infusion of 20% intralipid and heparin (IH) to raise plasma FFA levels approximately 5- to 8-fold vs. those in the saline control study. IH markedly increased apoB48 PR in CHOW by 3- to 5-fold, which was confirmed ex vivo in pulse-chase experiments in primary cultured hamster enterocytes. Oleate, but not glycerol, infusion was associated with a similar elevation of apoB48 PR as IH. In FRUC and FAT, basal (saline control) apoB48 PR was approximately 4-fold greater than that in CHOW; there was no additional stimulation with IH in vivo and only minimal additional stimulation ex vivo. RSG partially normalized basal apoB48 PR in FAT and FRUC, and PR was markedly stimulated with IH. We conclude that intestinal lipoprotein production is markedly stimulated by an acute elevation of plasma FFAs in insulin-sensitive hamsters, in which basal production is low, but minimally in insulin-resistant hamsters, in which basal production is already elevated. With RSG treatment, basal PR is partially normalized, and they become more susceptible to the acute FFA stimulatory effect.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
