Abstract

The metabolism of chylomicrons doubly labeled with cholesterol-3H and triglyceride-14C was studied in unanesthetized rats which were absorbing a fatty test meal. 10 min after intravenous injection, 80% of chylomicron cholesteryl ester, but only 20% of chylomicron triglyceride, was found in the liver. Treatment of recipient rats with puromycin to block hepatic triglyceride release did not increase the proportion of chylomicron triglyceride found in the liver.
