Abstract
The effect of acute and chronic ethanol intake on hepatic glycerolipid biosynthesis in the hamster was studied by in vivo and in vitro techniques. The results were compared with those from control hamsters receiving isocaloric amounts of glucose. Both chronic and acute ethanol intake elevated serum and hepatic triglyceride concentrations and induced a rapid rise in the capacity of neutral glycerolipid formation from sn[1,3-14C]glycerol-3-phosphate by hamster liver homogenate and microsomal fractions. Ethanol intake also produced a corresponding increase in the incorporation of [1,3-14C]glycerol into hepatic neutral glycerolipids by the intact animal. The ethanol-induced rise in the capacity of neutral glycerolipid production by liver as measured in vivo and in vitro correlated well with an increase in hepatic phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity. Therefore, the rise in hepatic and serum triglyceride levels associated with ethanol intake may be explained in part by an increase in the activity of the enzyme.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
