Study identifies differences in neutral lipid composition of liver and hepatoma subcellular fractions, suggesting unique metabolic alterations.

The aim is to analyze and compare the neutral lipid profiles of hepatic tissue and hepatoma subcellular fractions.
Subcellular fractions of nuclei, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and cytosol were isolated from liver and hepatoma 7288CTC in BUF rats.
Purity of fractions was assessed by enzyme activities and molecular distributions including DNA, RNA, sialic acids, and cholesterol.
Lipid compositions were quantified, focusing on free fatty acids and triglycerides among others.
Hepatoma subcellular fractions exhibited elevated levels of free fatty acids and triglycerides compared to liver.
Cholesterol levels were higher in all hepatoma fractions, while fatty acid profiles showed less organelle specificity.
Hepatoma subfractions had more uniform lipid compositions, with higher long-chain fatty acids compared to liver.

Upreti et al. (1983) studied this question.
