Effect of acetone on VLDL secretion by the isolated rat liver
Experientia
|June 15, 1979
Abstract:
High acetone levels occur in uncontrolled diabetes and after isopropanol administration to rats. In both conditions, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) secretion is depressed. Acetone, hoever, failed to affect the VLDL secretion rate by the isolated perfused rat liver, suggesting that this metabolite is not involved in impaired VLDL production in diabetes and after isopropanol administration.
